SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 



By C. H. Pierce and H. J. Dean. 



INTRODUCTION. 

By Nathan C. Grover. 

The water resources of Massachusetts have at all times played an 
important part in the industrial and commercial development of the 
Commonwealth. In the settlement and growth of the English colo- 
nies, the rivers served as the principal lines of communication and 
commerce, as sources of power for small industrial uses in the grinding 
of grain to make flour and meal, in the carding of wool and in the 
manufacture of lumber, and as the medium for transporting logs 
from the forests to the mills. Thus, these valuable resources were 
utilized and hundreds of small water-power plants contributed to 
the growth of the Massachusetts colonies and to the needs and welfare 
of the colonists who were far removed from the world's markets of 
those times and were therefore largely dependent on local products, 
not only for their food, building material, fuel, and clothing, but for 
practically everything needed on their farms and in their homes. 
Small industrial communities were established and towns grew up 
in the vicinity of the developed water powers. 

The uses to which the water powers have been put have changed 
with changing commercial conditions and the needs of a growing and 
prosperous commonwealth. The heavy forests have disappeared 
and only Connecticut and Merrimack rivers still carry logs from the 
distant forests in lew Hampshire and Vermont. Flour and meal 
are now manufactured in relatively large local plants or in the still 
larger plants of the West, and the need for the small neighborhood 
gristmill has disappeared. The sawmills, gristmills, and wool- 
carding mills have been replaced by the machine shop, the paper 
mill, the cotton mill, and the variety of manufacturing plants for 
which Massachusetts has justly become noted. The small industrial 
towns of colonial and early commonwealth times have grown to be 
the important manufacturing and commercial centers of to-day. 
Lawrence, Lowell, Holyoke, and scores of smaller cities still depend

on water power as the principal source of energy, although steam 
plants have been constructed to supplement the power obtained 
from the rivers. The new conditions have also brought forth new 
uses. Water is needed in the industries that have been developed 
and in the towns and cities that have been built. 

With improvements in electric transmission of power it is no 
longer necessary to use the power at the place of its generation. The 
power developed on Connecticut River near Brattleboro, Vt., and 
on Deerfield River in Massachusetts and Vermont is now being 
utilized to supplement the steam and water power in many cities and 
towns of the Commonwealth, and many small hydroelectric plants 
supply nearby cities and towns with power. The development of 
other power sites in Massachusetts and of more distant sites of great 
capacity in Maine and New Hampshire for transmission to the 
manufacturing cities of Massachusetts has been proposed. 

Recent years have seen still another important change in the use 
of power. The electric light and the electric railroad have revo- 
lutionized the lighting of the home and transportation in the cities 
and towns. Electric heating and electric cooking in the home are 
still largely in the future. The interest of the people in the power 
resources of the State and community, great as it was in colonial 
times, is still greater and more intimate to-day. This fact is recog- 
nized in the large measure of control of the public utilities exercised 
by the Commonwealth and by municipalities. As Director Smith 
has stated, 1 "The most notable sign of the times is in the general 
acceptance of the principle of public control.' ' The use of rivers as 
sources of public water supplies for cities and towns and the necessity 
for conserving the supply and protecting the quality in order that 
the individual may have at all times sufficient potable water bring 
forcefully to the attention still another phase of the water resources 
that is of immediate interest to all the people. 

The construction of a water-supply system for the metropolitan 
district including Boston and the near-by cities is reckoned among 
the engineering triumphs of modern times. The protection afforded 
to the municipal water supplies by the Massachusetts Board of 
Health has served as a model for other States. 

The various uses of the surface waters have from colonial times 
been considered of public benefit and therefore of interest to all the 
people. Many uses have been declared to be public uses and placed 
under public control, in accordance with the tendency of the present 
times. In January, 1916, the United States Supreme Court rendered 
a decision which defined "public use" in the following words: 

i Smith, G. O., The people's interest in water-power resources: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply 
Paper 400, p. 4, 1916.

But to gather the streams from waste and to draw from them energy, labor without 
brains, and so to save mankind from toil that it can be spared, is to supply what, next 
to intellect, is the very foundation of all our achievements and all our welfare. If 
that purpose is not public we should be at a loss to say what is. 1 

The interest of the people is therefore increasing. Uses are chang- 
ing with demands, the higher uses are gradually superseding the 
lower uses in accordance with economic law. As these changes take 
place a knowledge of the quantity of water in the streams and of 
the variations from season to season and year to year is necessary. 

This compilation of available stream-flow data has been made, 
therefore, to satisfy in part this need and to serve as a handy record 
of data now available and as a basis for future studies of this valuable 
resource and its uses. The report includes the classic records collected 
on the Merrimack at Lowell and Lawrence, on the Connecticut at 
Holyoke, and on the Cochituate and Sudbury by the Metropolitan 
Water and Sewerage Board, as well as records covering shorter peri- 
ods. All have been studied in the light of the best available informa- 
tion and revised where necessary and possible, and they are presented 
for the use of the people of Massachusetts. 

COOPERATION. 

Under authority conferred by Federal and State legislation, the 
Director of the United States Geological Survey and the governor of 
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts entered into a cooperative agree- 
ment in 1909 for an investigation of the water resources of the State. 
This cooperation was renewed in 1911, and again in 1912, when it 
was provided that the sum of $3,000 should be set aside for this pur- 
pose each year by each of the cooperating parties for a period of five 
years. The governors of the Commonwealth have represented Mas- 
sachusetts throughout the different periods of cooperation. Assist- 
ance in obtaining stream-flow records has also been rendered by 
several power companies. Where the entire record has been fur- 
nished by private parties the fact has been acknowledged in connec- 
tion with the description of the station. 

DIVISION OF WORK. 

The investigations were begun under the direction of F. H. Newell, 
chief hydrographer, by N. C. Grover, district hydrographer, and were 
supervised from 1904 to 1909 by H. K. Barrows, for a few weeks in 
1910 by T. W. Norcross, from 1910 to 1914 by C. C. Covert, and 
subsequent to 1914 by C. H. Pierce. Many assistants have par- 
ticipated in the field work and their names appear in connection 
with discharge measurements listed in this report. The ratings, 
computations, estimates of flow during winter periods, and special

studies for this report have been made by C. H. Pierce, district engi- 
neer, and H. J. Dean, assistant engineer. Hardin Thweatt, junior 
engineer, W. A. Elwood, clerk, and G. F. Adams, field assistant, 
assisted with the computations. The manuscript was prepared by 
H. J. Dean. 

TOPOGRAPHY. 

By Arthur Keith. 

PRINCIPAL FEATURES. 

A bird's-eye view of Massachusetts would reveal three belts of high 
ground and four of lowland trending southward across the State. In 
general each lowland belt is lower than the one next west of it, and 
each slopes southward with the streams. Likewise each intervening 
belt of high ground descends as a whole toward the south and each 
in turn is lower than the belts at the west. The sum of these features 
is that the highest part of the State is in the northwest corner and the 
lowest is in the southeast. 

The State is drained by two great rivers, the Connecticut and the 
Merrimack, and by many smaller ones. As a whole the direction of 
stream flow in the State is decidedly southward, and no stream 
crosses any of the uplands. 

Connecticut River enters the State from the north and flows south- 
ward directly through it, cutting off its western quarter. The river 
flows nearly midway between the borders of its basin, which includes 
about one-third of the State. In Massachusetts the river has two 
main branches on the west, Deerfield and Westfield rivers, and 
two on the east, Millers and Chicopee rivers: 

Merrimack River also enters Massachusetts from the north but 
within 6 miles turns northeastward and empties 4 into the Atlantic 
Ocean near the northeast corner of the State. Nashua and Concord 
rivers, its principal tributaries, are nearly as large as the branches of 
Connecticut River. They flow northeastward and. with the Merri- 
mack, are the largest exceptions to the general trend. 

The Charles and Ipswich, somewhat smaller rivers, also flow north- 
eastward into the sea. Taunton River and its branches have general 
southerly directions and empty into Narragansett Bay. The area 
along the western border of the State is drained by Housatonic River, 
which flows southward parallel to the Connecticut, and by Hoosic 
River, which has a general westward course to the Hudson. Quine- 
baug and Blackstone rivers drain the south-central marginal part of 
the State, the former flowing southward to Long Island Sound and the 
latter into Narragansett Bay. 

There are three main divides between the different river systems of 
the State. One runs southward nearly through the State and divides 
it roughly into halves. Another, parallel to this, crosses the State 10 



TOPOGRAPHY. 9 

to 15 miles from its west boundary. Between these divides lies the 
Connecticut River basin. The third main watershed, which cuts the 
eastern half of the State into nearly equal parts, has an average 
westerly course from the sea to the Connecticut Valley. This divide 
parts the streams that flow directly into Long Island Sound from those 
that enter Connecticut River and those that flow northeastward into 
the Atlantic. These watersheds are remnants of the original divides 
and are some of the oldest physical features of the State. 

Each highland or upland is due to the prevalence in it of rocks that 
are hard and resist the wear of streams and weather, and in contrast 
each lowland is due mainly to the presence of rocks that are weak and 
yield most readily to the elements. These leveling processes, con- 
tinuing through the geologic ages, have carried to the sea the tops of 
the great blocks and the folds into which the rocks have been forced 
from time to time. Thus the mountains and hills of to-day are but 
the roots of those of the geologic past. During numerous epochs the 
reduction of the highlands was carried so far that broad tracts were 
worn down nearly to a plain. Later uplifts of the land steepened the 
slopes, so that the streams with renewed speed and power cut down 
their beds and broadened their valleys into new plains. Thus each 
plain was raised in turn to a plateau, which was then cut down in 
whole or in part to the younger plains. The remnants of the older 
plateaus are still to be seen at various levels as high as 2,200 feet. 

Plateau surfaces are characteristic of the State ; several of them are 
plainly seen in each upland, and a similar succession of surfaces 
appears in the eastern lowland. They are arranged like giant plat- 
forms or stairs climbing toward the west; each step is cut deep into 
the mass of the next above, and over great areas no trace is left of the 
older steps. The most complete series of the higher surfaces is pre- 
served in the western highlands, and that of the lower surfaces in the 
eastern lowland. 

The deeper rocks of the earth's crust are crystalline; that is, they are 
composed of mineral crystals knit firmly together. The higher rocks 
are sedimentary; that is, they are made up of the worn and sorted 
particles of the deeper rocks into which the surface has from time 
to time been worn down. As a class the sedimentary rocks, such as 
limestone, shale, or sandstone, are less firm than the deeper crystal- 
line rocks, like granite, gneiss, or schist, and so have been cut down 
more deeply. Thus the lowland belts have resulted directly from 
the faster wear on the weak limestones, shales, slates, and sandstones. 
The present distribution of these rocks is due largely to the manner 
in which they have been folded or broken by the earth's forces. 

Four grand belts of depressed rocks or basins, corresponding 
roughly to several areas of sedimentary rocks, were formed, aiul 



10 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

between them were raised three masses or huge arches of deep-lying 
crystalline and igneous rocks. Although each arch differs from the 
other arches and each basin from its fellows, they have this controlling 
feature in common — that each arch exposes crystalline rocks that are 
harder and older than those of the adjoining basins, whereas each 
basin contains sedimentary rocks that are younger and softer than 
those of the arches on its flanks. The coastal plain contains only 
gravel, sand, and clay, and is the lowest division of the State. 

To sum up these facts, each upland belt stands up because it con- 
tains relatively hard rocks like granite, gneiss, or schist, and these 
were uplifted from the depths of the earth's crust in rude, enormous 
arches; each lowland belt is worn down on weaker rocks like lime- 
stone, shale, or sandstone, which were depressed in deep basins or 
sunken blocks of the crust. After the various foldings were com- 
pleted the surface was worn down almost to a plain. Then the whole 
region was lifted again and again by hundreds of feet, the streams 
began their wear anew, and lower plains were formed between the 
remnants of the old ones. Thus the huge overtopping masses of the 
ancient folds were worn to the roots, and the series of plains became 
the great plateaus of to-day. 

Then came the invasion of glaciers from the far North. Beneath 
these vast ice sheets the highest mountains in the State were buried, 
the rocks were smoothed and ground off, and their fragments were 
carried to great distances. In places the valleys were somewhat 
deepened; in places they were filled with waste rock. Finally the 
great ice mass melted away and left a blanket of bowlders, sand, and 
clay called the glacial drift. This filled the valleys, blocked or 
diverted the streams, and formed new ridges and hills that are 
prominent features in the lowlands. Cape Cod, the most prominent 
feature of the New England coast, owes its very existence to the 
mass of drift deposited around the end of one lobe of the glacier. 
Another lobe produced the high ground and the islands that outline 
Buzzards Bay on the southeast. The principal features «of Marthas 
Vineyard and Nantucket resulted from an earlier and farther advance 
of these glacial lobes. 

The land rose, when freed of its great load of ice, and the streams 
began to cut into their new channels. As the channels deepened, 
high parts of the bedrock were uncovered and resisted the wear of 
the streams so as to stand above the sands and clays, forming water- 
falls and rapids. These were destined to provide the locations of 
the early mills and thus to lay the foundations for the manufacturing 
eminence of the State. 

The latest geologic episode, the slow sinking of the land, has had a 
marked influence on the geography and industries of the State. The 
deep river valleys were first submerged and became the great inlets 



TOPOGRAPHY. 11 

of Boston, Buzzards, and Narragansett bays. Lesser valleys formed 
deep, rock-bound harbors, as in Gloucester and Salem, or shallow, 
sand-rimmed inlets, like Plymouth and Duxbury harbors, or other 
important harbors, like Fall River and New Bedford. The beat of 
the sea waves on the new coast fast cut away the sand and clay and 
spread them offshore into long, slim bars and beaches, which now 
nearly inclose and protect deep harbors, like those of Boston, Prov- 
incetown, and Newburyport, and scores of shoaler ones, as in Dux- 
bury and Chatham. The shallow harbors are very numerous north 
of Cape Ann and south of Cohasset. The existence of these numerous 
harbors stimulated the early pursuits of fishing, trading, and ship 
building and did much to render the State prominent in commerce. 

As the sand bars reached out across the inlets, the latter fast filled 
up with swamp and marsh deposits. The greatest of these marshes 
extends 23 miles along the coast from Essex, Mass., to North Hamp- 
ton, N. H. 

The relative rise of the sea level has also increased somewhat the 
navigable parts of the rivers. Taunton and Merrimack rivers are 
the largest examples of this increase, but even small streams like 
Charles and Mystic rivers, which are navigable for ocean-going 
vessels for a few miles, are important in their added water front for 
commerce. One of the great shipbuilding yards of America is 4 miles 
from deep water on Weymouth Fore River, a small tidal stream. 
Except for the tidal rivers, the only stream in the State that is navig- 
able by seagoing vessels is the Merrimack, which is used by small craft 
up to Haverhill, 15 miles from its mouth. 

A notable part of the water of the State is found in the ponds and 
lakes, and few other States are so well supplied. The ponds fill 
hollows formed by the glacial drift and range in size from bodies like 
Watuppa Pond, in Fall River, 7.7 miles long, down to tiny ponds 
covering less than an acre. They are most numerous on Cape Cod, 
but are abundant in the central upland and the eastern lowland. 
Taken as a whole the ponds tend to be longer in a north-south direc- 
tion, in accord with the prevailing trends of the hills and valleys. 
Many of these lakes are partly filled and are used as cranberry marshes. 
A list of the lakes, ponds, and reservoirs more than 10 acres in area 
was published in an appendix to the report of the Massachusetts 
State Board of Health for 1873. The total number listed was 1,206, 
and the aggregate area 93,000 acres. In the gazetteer forming the 
appendix of this report many of the lakes named on the maps are 
described. 

Seven topographic districts have been formed in the State as the 
result of the conditions above described. These districts, named in 
order from west to east, are (1) the Taconic Range, along the western 
border of the State; (2) the Housatonic Valley (including the Hoosic 



12 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

Valley) ; (3) the Green Mountain highlands (including the Berkshire 
Hills); (4) the Connecticut Valley; (5) the central upland; (6) the 
eastern lowland; (7) the coastal plain. 

TACONIC RANGE. 

Only the eastern portion of the Taconic Range comes into the 
State, most of it being in New York and Vermont. Its highest sum- 
mits are along its eastern margin, and Mount Greylock, 3,505 feet, 
the highest peak in Massachusetts, stands in its northern part. 
Other high peaks on the range west of Greylock are East Mountain, 
2,660 feet, and Berlin Mountain, 2,804 feet. Toward the south the 
altitudes are in general less, and Mount Everett, near the southwest 
corner of the State, stands at 2,624 feet, nearly 1,000 feet lower than 
Mount Greylock. The main watershed of the range in Massachusetts 
follows its high eastern part from Greylock to the southwest corner 
of the State and divides the Hudson waters from those of Housatonic 
and Hoosic rivers. 

There are many lesser mountains and ridges in the Taconic Range, 
and they are separated by numerous deep lengthwise valleys and by 
cross gaps or passes. The summits at the north are more even than 
those at the south, but there is throughout the range a noticeable 
development of single peaks. The northern ridges have a general 
north-south trend and tend to be parallel, but these features are less 
marked toward the south. There is more variety in the summit 
heights of this range than in those of the other upland districts, but 
the high plateaus seen in the Green Mountain highlands are imper- 
fectly shown here, especially in the* southern part of the range in 
Mount Washington. The most prominent feature of the range is 
its steep escarpment on the east, where it towers above the Housa- 
tonic Valley. Its western parts descend rather steadily and pass 
into the lowlands of the Hudson Valley in New York. The general 
steepness of the slopes causes a very rapid run-off of the waters. 

The part of the Taconic Range in Massachusetts is carved almost 
wholly from slates and schists, and to the superior hardness of these 
rocks is due its prominence above the limestones of the Housatonic 
Valley. The schists are harder than the slates and lie at the east, 
causing the greater heights of the eastern parts of the range. 

The Taconic Range is steep and rugged in Massachusetts, and its 
upper parts are poorly adapted to settlement. The passes from 
east to west and the 4eep lengthwise valleys have, however, made 
traffic through the range much easier than in the Berkshires. The 
early farming communities settled towns in the valleys, and these 
sites were confirmed by the later development of manufacturing near 
the water powers and railroads. 



TOPOGRAPHY. 13 

HOTJSATONIC VALLEY. 

East of the Taconic Range lie the valleys of Housatonic River, 
which flows southward to Long Island Sound, and of Hoosic River, 
which flows northward and westward to the Hudson. Hoosic River 
leaves the State at an altitude of about 570 feet, and Housatonic 
River at 650 feet. The valley at the head of the two rivers is 1,120 
feet above the sea, and most of the valley floor lies between 700 and 
900 feet. The rivers are in few places much below the valley floors, 
but locally, as at Glendale, they pass through narrows and gaps in 
ridges. These valleys were worn down along the soft marbles and 
limestones and followed these beds into all their projections wherever 
they were folded into the hard rocks, thus forming deep bays in the 
uplands. To this is due the much indented outline of the Housatonic 
Valley, so markedly shown near Stockbridge, Pittsfield, and North 
Adams. These forking valleys trend about northward or southward 
into the Taconic Range and southeastward into the Berkshires, 
following the general courses of the near-by slates and gneisses. 
Above the general valley bottom rise scattered ridges or islands of 
the harder schist, such as Lenox Mountain, 2,150 feet above the sea, 
and Tom Ball Mountain, 1,930 feet. 

Most of the older plains have been removed from the valleys, and 
the floors on the soft rocks have kept pace with the down wear of the 
streams. There are, however, remnants of older and higher surfaces 
left in places least exposed to stream cutting, as is well shown around 
North Adams at an altitude of 1,140 feet, and around Pittsfield, 
Lenox, and Stockbridge at 1,050 to 1,100 feet. The Housatonic 
above Pittsfield is near the level of the older surface, but below 
Stockbridge it has formed a broader, younger, and lower valley with 
flat floors and scattered hills. The Hoosic has cut a narrow valley 
several hundred feet below the old plateau. In both valleys many 
minor irregularities were smoothed out by the deposits of sand and 
gravel that were laid down by the melting glaciers. These deposits 
formed extensive plains around Pittsfield and along the Housatonic 
below Great Barrington, and at some places produced hills and 
small ridges. 

Housatonic and Hoosic valleys form a great natural thoroughfare 
through the highlands. Farming settlements grew up on their 
plains from the earliest times and were later strengthened by the 
growth of manufacturing. Mills were located on the water powers 
along the eastern border, where the streams emerge upon the plains 
from their canyons in the Green Mountain highlands. The railroads 
in later days found these valleys the obvious opening for traffic north 
and south. Where this valley thoroughfare intersects the lines 
through the main east-west passes of the highlands, the flourishing 



14 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

cities of Pittsfield and North Adams have grown. From this channel 
has also spread the tide of summer travel that makes the scenery and 
climate of the region so great a natural asset. 

GREEN MOUNTAIN HIGHLANDS. 

General features. — Rising boldly above Housatonic Valley on the 
west and Connecticut Valley on the east are the Green Mountain 
plateaus, a belt of highlands about 25 miles wide, running southward 
across the State. Their northern part contains Hoosac Mountain, 
one of the most prominent heights in the State. This range is the 
south end of the Green Mountains of Vermont, and the highlands are 
the worn-down remnants of the earlier mountains. The western part 
of the highlands, in Berkshire County, is called the Berkshire Hills. 

The area is drained mainly southeastward by Deerfield and West- 
field rivers, tributaries to the Connecticut, and to a less extent by 
Farmington River and small branches of Housatonic and Hoosic 
rivers. The western half of the highlands is formed mainly from the 
ancient gneisses and granites, and the eastern half from later schists. 
The belt of ancient rocks widens greatly toward the south. The high- 
lands owe their prominence to the hardness of the rocks beneath them, 
and the main divide and the higher mountains are at the west on the 
gneisses, the hardest of all. 

These highlands have a distinct plateau aspect. The tops are 
broad and rounded and form rather even sky lines, and the streams 
have cut deep, narrow valleys or gorges many hundreds of feet below 
them. The segments into which the highland is cut have as a whole 
a marked southeasterly trend across the belt. The trend is north- 
easterly, however, in a narrow belt near Deerfield River. Just as the 
general outline of the highland area follows that of the crystalline 
rocks, so the drainage lines and ridges correspond very closely with 
the local trends of the rocks. This correspondence is especially 
notable in the area of gneisses, whose divisions contrast strongly in 
character. Exceptions to this rule are shown by the schist belts east 
of Hoosac Mountain and those in the extreme northeastern part of 
the highlands, where the ridges and valleys cross the rock belts. 

About half the highland area is more than 1,500 feet above the sea, 
and much of the main watershed is higher than 2,000 feet. The main 
divide culminates in Hoosac Mountain, near the Vermont boundary, 
in a peak 2,800 feet high, and from this point the high ground falls 
away to the south and east. The main divide hugs the west border 
of the highlands and is usually within 5 miles of it. The summits of 
the highlands fall into three groups that are significant, with a vast 
number of others without system. Around the margin of the high- 
lands one group stands 1,100 to 1,200 feet above the sea, the next 



TOPOGRAPHY. 15 

from 1,600 to 1,700 fee£, and the highest from 2,050 to 2,200 feet. 
There is some evidence of another group at heights a little less than 
1,400 feet. 

As must be the case with any old and high plateau, these old sur- 
faces are so deeply dissected that only remnants are left. These 
remnants are naturally to be found on the hardest rocks and near the 
divides, where the streams have the least power. Their summits fall 
into systems with sky lines so even that the plateau character is 
obvious to the eye, although the rivers run in huge trenches from 700 
to 1,500 feet below the summit levels. The view of the plateaus and 
Deerfield gorge from the town of Florida is very fine. 

The form of the highlands was little affected by the great glacial 
invasion. Minor irregularities of surface were smoothed out, and 
small deposits of gravel and clay were made. The chief result was 
the partial blocking of valleys and the consequent formation of lakes 
and ponds, but they are much less numerous here than in other parts 
of the State. The lakes have great beauty, and the part taken by 
them in the scenery is enhanced by the setting of wooded mountains. 
In fact, the scenic beauty of these highlands, with their rugged gorges, 
forest slopes, and crystal lakes, is justly famed. 

The summits of the plateaus were so much better adapted to 
agriculture and travel that the old towns were laid out on the hills. 
Later the development of small water powers caused the location of 
manufacturing towns in the valleys. This process was emphasized 
by the advent of the railroads and their diversion of transportation 
and manufacture. These highlands oppose so effective a barrier to 
travel that there is in Massachusetts only one natural pass across 
them for a railroad. This is where Housatonic River heads against 
part of Westfield River at an elevation of 1,470 feet. Deerfield River 
cuts a deep gorge almost across the highlands, but its use by a railroad 
required a 4^-mile tunnel under Hoosac Mountain. This range was 
and still is a formidable obstacle, and its western scarp of 1,000 feet 
is the greatest in the State. 

CONNECTICUT VALLEY. 

The Connecticut Valley is roughly triangular and is about 4 miles 
wide at the north boundary of the State, and 20 miles wide at the 
south. To the observer on any high summit the valley appears prac- 
tically flat in contrast with the highlands walling it on each side. It 
is drained entirely by Connecticut River, which flows southward in 
the center of the valley, with two main tributaries on each side, 
Chicopee and Millers rivers on the east and Deerfield and Westfield 
rivers on the west. The Connecticut enters the State at 180 feet 
above sea level and leaves it 63.5 miles downstream at an altitude of 
B0 feet. It has few falls, and between them are long stretches of slack 



16 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

water suitable for navigation by small boats. Even its main tribu- 
taries, however, have high grades and numerous falls on the hard 
rocks of the highlands. 

The valley is underlain mainly by soft red or brown shale and sand- 
stone, interbedded with which are several lava flows. The sandstones 
and shales have offered little resistance to the wear of the streams, so 
that the areas underlain by them were reduced to a low rolling plain. 
The sheets of lava or trap, however, have proved very resistant and 
stand up in the long, sharp crescent of the Holyoke Kange, with 
summits at 1,214 feet in Mount Tom and 1,115 feet in Mount Nor- 
wottock, that reach the level of the highlands east and west of the 
valley. The low, rolling hills around its margin locally form groups 
with heights of 500 to 650 feet and of 300 to 340 feet, but far the 
greater part of the valley is below 300 feet. 

The shape of the valley follows closely the outline of the soft red 
beds, and this was produced mainly by faults along which the sur- 
rounding older rocks were raised, leaving the red beds at low levels. 
At the extreme north end of the valley, near Bernardston, some low 
ground is formed by weak slates around the margin of the red beds. 

Evidences of lower plain surfaces that were probably developed 
have been concealed by the deposit of glacial drift, which is very 
thick. The lower inequalities were completely buried in the sand 
brought down by the Connecticut and its tributaries. The deltas of 
the side streams formed miles of level plain, fine examples of which 
are seen around Springfield and Greenfield. Only here and there 
has the river in cutting down through these sand deposits uncovered 
the preglacial rock^floor. At these places, such as South Hadley, 
Turners Falls, and Millers Falls, the hard ledges have caused water- 
falls and powers that have attracted factories and settlements around 
them. Agriculture and the early settlements depending on it were 
fostered by the fertile soil and the levelness of the valley, and at later 
dates the valley formed a natural avenue for railroad traffic. The 
main east-west traffic line through Chicopee and Westfield valleys 
intersects the north-south artery of the Connecticut at Springfield 
and makes one of the most important cities of the State. The com- 
bination of these elements has produced a high concentration of popu- 
lation which approaches that in the eastern part of the State. 

CENTRAL UPLAND. 

General features. — The central upland includes the high part of the 
State between the Connecticut Valley and the lowland of eastern 
Massachusetts. It crosses the State in a north-south belt 34 miles 
wide at the north but narrowed to 20 miles along the Connecticut 



TOPOGRAPHY. 17 

border. Its west border is the Connecticut Valley, and on the east 
it is limited along a nearly north-south line through Princeton. It 
extends only a short distance into Connecticut, but passes far into 
New Hampshire. The western front of this upland rises sharply 700 
to 900 feet above the Connecticut Valley. The eastern margin is 
nearly as distinct and rises about 600 feet above the eastern lowland. 

The main divide between the Connecticut and Atlantic drainage 
runs about south and is nowhere more than 6 miles from the eastern 
border of the upland. On it are situated the highest peaks. Almost 
all the area is drained into Connecticut Kiver by its tributaries, 
Quaboag, Ware, Swift, and Millers rivers. The eastern part of the 
upland is drained northeastward through Concord and Nashua rivers 
into the Merrimack and southeastward through Blackstone River 
into Narragansett Bay. The area along the southern border is drained 
by Quinebaug River. The cross divides between the east-west streams 
are not symmetrical, each stream lying near the south side of its basin. 
Swift River, for instance, heads within 2 miles of the main channel of 
Millers River but flows southward for 25 miles into Chicopee River. 

The upland consists mainly of higK rounded hills and ridges sepa- 
rated by narrow valleys, and the evenness of summits characteristic 
of the plateau is clearly manifest from any high summit. Above the 
hills stand a few mountains such as Mount Wachusett, 2,022 feet; 
Watatic Mountain, 1,847 feet; and Mount Grace, 1,628 feet; all in 
the northern part of the upland. In general, the plateau is slightly 
lower toward the south, the summits at the north being about 1,200 
feet above sea level and those at the south about 1,100 feet. This 
corresponds well with the descent of the master stream, the Connecticut, 
in the same direction. There is no general difference of plateau level 
from east to west, in spite of the facts that the main streams flow 
westward and that the divide is so near the east border of the plateau. 

Included in this general upland area, in addition to the principal 
plateau, there are a marginal belt of much worn-down plateau rem- 
nants and also numerous large tracts reduced nearly to lower plateau 
levels. One group of such summits, about 900 feet in altitude, ap- 
pears locally to form an obscure plateau along the east margin of the 
upland. The upland is due to the hardness of the granites, gneisses, 
and schists which underlie most of it, as contrasted with weaker rocks 
in the lowlands on each side. 

The breadth and roundness of the summits of the upland are like 
those of the Berkshire Hills, but the valleys, although narrow like 
those of the Berkshires, are not so deep (only 200 to 700 feet), be- 
cause the summits are lower, while the master stream is the same for 
each upland. Near the border of the Connecticut Valley the canyon- 
40966°— wsp 415—16 2 



18 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

like aspect of the stream is, however, as marked as in the Berkshires. 
There is a decided southerly trend to the ridges and smaller valleys, 
in spite of the fact that the main streams have a general westerly flow. 
This general trend is caused by the wear of the minor drainage lines 
northward or southward along the belts of weaker rocks. Although 
few of the ridges seem particularly long, owing to their blending in 
the view with the surrounding ridges of the plateau, many of them 
really extend for considerable distances. The one which runs through 
Shutesbury and Pelham near the Connecticut Valley is 20 miles long, 
and a large number of others are 8 or 10 miles in length. 

Large irregular depressions were cut well across the plateau by 
Quinebaug, Quaboag, and Ware rivers, but only the areas close to 
the streams were. reduced to any plateau level. There is also a major 
north-south valley running through Monson, Greenwich, and Orange, 
which is crossed by the main rivers and occupied by their tributaries. 
Numerous minor north-south valleys extend for long distances, al- 
though each may be occupied by several streams — for instance, the 
valley passing through Baldwinsville. 

As in the Berkshire Hills, the*early settlements in the central upland 
were agricultural, and many hill towns, like Petersham, Templeton, 
and Kutland, grew up on the rolling hill country away from the 
streams. With the increasing use of water power for manufacturing 
and the building of railroads through the valleys, manufacturing 
towns arose in them and far outstripped the hill towns. Millers 
River and Chicopee River with its branches, the Ware and Quaboag, 
formed the main passageways across the upland and were occupied by 
the east-west railroads. The north-south minor valleys, especially 
the Orange and Monson valley, were occupied by connecting railroads. 

The form of the plateau was only slightly modified by glacial in- 
vasion. A thin sheet of bowlder clay was deposited over the plateau, 
and here and there areas were left bare and rocky. Sand deposits 
were formed in the valleys and filled some of them to considerable 
depths, but the main topographic lines were not obscured. 

EASTERN LOWLAND. 

General features. — The eastern lowland occupies about half of the 
area of the State. It is bounded on the east by the coastal plain 
which takes in the peninsula of Cape Cod and a narrow tract along 
Massachusetts Bay east of a line running through Onset, Kingston, 
and Scituate. Its western border is a belt of hilly country, from 2 to 4 
miles wide, which lies west of Worcester and Fitchburg and forms the 
foothills of the central upland. 

The larger bodies of high ground or ridges in the eastern lowland 
have distinct northeasterly courses, and the same trend is even more 



TOPOGEAPHY. 19 

plainly evident in the major valleys. This direction is in decided 
contrast with the southerly trend of the valleys and hills in the western 
half of the State. The hills are shorter and have less obvious trends 
than those of the upland. Nearly all of them are smooth and rounded 
and there are few conspicuous ledges, except in the Blue Hills and in a 
rocky belt running from Waltham to Gloucester. The valleys are 
broad and irregular and make up most of the area. 

The eastern lowland has one principal divide which separates 
streams of very different kinds. This divide runs from Paxton, on 
the main central upland divide, east to Boylston, thence southeast to 
Wrentham, at the corner of Rhode Island, and north of east to the sea 
at Scituate. North of this divide the larger streams flow north- 
eastward to the ocean, and south of it they flow southward into Narra- 
gansett and Buzzards bays. A minor exception to this rule is Black- 
stone River, which flows southeastward from Worcester through 
Woonsocket into Narragansett Bay. The general watershed above 
described follows the belt of high country which stands upon the hard 
granitic rocks and is a remnant of one of the oldest divides of the State. 
On it also is situated the most of the high hill country that forms a belt 
from Quincy to Wrentham and is underlain mainly by granite. This 
hill belt is paralleled on the south by the broad lowland that stretches 
over shales and sandstones northeast from Narragansett Bay nearly 
to Massachusetts Bay and by another hill belt that extends on granite 
and gneiss northeast from Fall River through Middleboro and nearly 
to the sea. These lowland and hill belts are cut off at the northeast 
by the morainic hills described under the heading " Coastal plain" 
(pp. 22-23). These belts are nearly paralleled on the north by the 
hill country that extends northeast from Weston through Salem to 
Cape Ann and by the ridge that reaches from Shrewsbury northeast- 
ward through Harvard. The latter is the southeast divide of the 
Nashua River basin and is held up by hard gneiss and schist. This 
basin, with its extension into Connecticut, is excavated in slates and 
allied rocks and forms one of the oldest valleys known in the State. 

Almost without exception the northeastward-flowing streams of the 
lowland lie near the southeastern divides of their respective basins. 
Nashua River is a striking instance of this lack of symmetry, its main 
channel being in few places more than 3 miles from its southeastern 
divide, although its northwestern branches are from 15 to 25 miles 
long. Even the Charles, the most sinuous river in the State, follows 
this rule fairly well. Another peculiarity of most of these rivers, in- 
cluding the Charles, Sudbury, Ipswich, and Merrimack rivers, and 
Nashua River with its three branches, is that they all flow southeast- 
ward in their upper courses and turn sharply northeastward into 
their lower courses. 



20 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

The summits of the lowland fall into four groups of plateau-like 
surfaces. These are successively lower toward the east, and each 
group forms deep bays projecting westward into the higher ones. As 
a whole, they are like immense steps or platforms ascending to the 
central upland. The highest group forms a north-south belt across 
the State next to the upland. It has a fairly uniform width of 6 to 15 
miles, and its hilltops range between 540 and 650 feet in altitude. 
Far from this group but rising to its level are the Blue Hills of Quincy 
and Milton, 500 to 640 feet, and Moose Hill in Sharon, 560 feet. 

The next group forms a very irregular belt of hills between 320 and 
380 feet above the sea. These are to be seen mainly around the mar- 
gins of the river valleys and in the two hill belts northeast of Wren- 
tham and Weston. Next below them is a group of hills between 220 
and 260 feet above the sea, which are scattered over much of the State 
east of the two higher groups and almost reach the sea in Lynn. On 
the hills of this group in Lynn and Waltham there is scarcely any 
glacial drift and rock ledges are very numerous. In this feature these 
hills are surpassed by no other part of the State except the extension 
of the same belt northeastward into the promontory of Cape Ann. 
Much of this rocky hill country is to-day a wilderness, although situ- 
ated in one of the most thickly settled districts of the United States. 
The summits of the lowest group range between 110 and 160 feet, and 
their areas form an irregular network along the coast and up the river 
valleys. Probably half of the area of the lowland southeast of the 
Quincy and Wrentham hill belt falls into this group. 

In general aspect the eastern lowland is more modified by glacial 
action than the more western parts of the State. The commonest 
glacial features are the sand plains which fill the valley bottoms and 
rim their slopes. The next in abundance are the drumlins or smooth, 
rounded hills of bowlder clay with bases resting on the bedrock.' 
These are scattered over both the valleys and hills, but are more 
numerous on the lower levels of the lowland than elsewhere. They 
are usually not more than half a mile long, and their axes run gener- 
ally from northwest to southeast, the direction in which the ice 
moved. 

South of the latitude of the Blue Hills rock outcrops are very scarce 
and there is an almost continuous cover of glacial drift. Bedrock is 
exposed more commonly to the north and west of Boston in the hill 
belts and higher country, but the valleys are deeply filled with glacial 
sand and gravel. The promontories of the bedrock at the ocean in 
Cohasset, Manchester, Gloucester, and adjoining towns form bold 
rocky shores, whose picturesque scenery attracts thousands of sum- 
mer visitors. North of Cohasset the shore line is followed by num- 
erous salt marshes, the largest of which extends from Essex for 16 



TOPOGRAPHY. 21 

miles across the mouths of Ipswich, Parker, and Merrimack rivers 
into New Hampshire. 

Other results of glacial action are the ponds and swamps so thickly- 
scattered over the lowland. The ponds lie in all topographic situa- 
tions from hills to valleys, though they are most numerous in the 
valleys. Most of them are held up by dams of glacial drift across 
hollows, but many, including the largest, occupy hollows left by 
blocks of glacial ice. The largest are Assawompsett Pond, in Lake- 
ville, 5.3 miles long, and Watuppa Pond, in Fall River, 7.7 miles long. 
The swamps represent shallow ponds that have been filled up by peat 
or muck, like the great cedar swamps in West Bridgewater and Hali- 
fax, or else stretches of stream valley like those of Neponset and Sud- 
bury rivers, where the grade is slight above a barrier of bowlder clay. 

The lowland was most completely cut down in the area underlain 
by the slates. This comprises the lower Charles and Mystic valleys 
and the area of Boston Harbor as far south as Weymouth and Co- 
hasset. Boston Harbor really consists of several small river valleys 
that have been submerged by a sinking of the land since their forma- 
tion. This sinking seems to be still in progress, although exceedingly 
slow, and accounts for the inland growth of the salt marshes. Narra- 
gansett Bay had the same origin, and the valleys of the old Taunton 
and Blackstone rivers were submerged far inland by the settling of 
the land. A further sinking of 100 feet would make half of the south- 
eastern part of the State an archipelago like the coast of Maine. The 
same settling of the land has separated the islands from the south 
shore and greatly extended Buzzards Bay. This bay occupies the 
depression of several small stream valleys bounded on the east by 
the moraine of Falmouth and the Elizabeth Islands. This sinking 
of the land has been of great economic importance to the State 
through the formation of its deep waterways, such as Boston, Narra- 
gansett, and Buzzards bays, and of the scores of small tidal inlets 
and rocky harbors like those of Gloucester and Marblehead. 

The waterfalls of the eastern lowland are an indirect result of 
glacial action. After the ice melted the streams were here and there 
turned aside into new channels by the accumulations of sand and 
bowlder clay. As the land rose,, when freed of its load of ice, the 
rivers began with fresh energy to cut down their channels. In places 
they encountered high parts of the buried bedrock; these held up 
the streams above them, while the stretches downstream, on the 
clays and sands, were readily excavated. Thus came into being the 
fails and rapids that have meant so much to the manufacturing 
industries of the State. 

The falls of the Merrimack at Lowell, Lawrence, and Haverhill 
were the greatest and the earliest developed. Now this river is one 
of the most noted power streams in the world, and with its tribu- 



22 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

taries it has more utilized power than any drainage basin of equal 
size in America. The early mill settlements, like Lowell and Law- 
rence, have developed into the greatest textile centers of the Western 
Hemisphere. This early advantage was increased for Lowell by its 
position at the great bend of the Merrimack, which is the chief outlet 
for the traffic of the entire river valley in New Hampshire. 

The power of the several falls of Blackstone River is now highly 
developed. It induced the early industries of many towns, such as 
Worcester and Blackstone, also Woonsocket and Pawtucket, in Rhode 
Island, at the State border. Similar falls determined the location 
of Clinton and Fitchburg on the branches of Nashua River, Medway 
and Newton on Charles River, and Milton on Neponset River. Other 
large towns, such as Fall River and Taunton, on Taunton River, 
took early advantage of the waterfalls. 

COASTAL PLAIN. 

The coastal plain of Massachusetts includes Cape Cod, the southern 
islands, and a narrow tract along the coast east of a line through 
Onset, Kingston, Marshfield, and Scituate. The coastal plain has no 
hard rocks at the surface, like the rest of the State, but is underlain 
by clays and sands that are deeply covered by glacial deposits. 

The most prominent feature of the New England coast is Cape 
Cod, which projects from the mainland east of Buzzards Bay, and 
roughly has the shape of a man's bent arm. It incloses the south 
end of Massachusetts Bay, and its southwest prong, with the Eliza- 
beth Islands, forms one side of Buzzards Bay. Between its south 
shore and the islands of- Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket lie the 
shoal waters of Nantucket and Vineyard sounds. The Cape and the 
shoals around it are the greatest obstruction and menace to shipping 
on the Atlantic coast. To obviate this the Cape Cod Canal has re- 
cently been dug across the cape east of Bourne, at the head of Buz- 
zards Bay. The Cape turns away from the northern shores of Mas- 
sachusetts the warm currents from the south and holds back some of 
the cold Labrador current, and it thus causes a decided difference in 
the climate of the north and south shores.. 

The drainage of the coastal plain is very irregular. North of Ply- 
mouth the plain is crossed by several small streams. From Plymp- 
ton the main divide runs southeasterly to the coast just north of 
Bourne. In Bourne it forks, one part going south to Falmouth and 
then southwest through the Elizabeth Islands, and the other part 
curving in a rude semicircle near the inner side of Cape Cod. Only 
one stream north of the divide is as long as 4 miles, and most of the 
drainage is southward from the divide. Large tracts draining into 
ponds with no surface outlets are very common, owing to the sandy 



DEFINITION OF TERMS. 23 

subsoil, and are especially abundant on Cape Cod. The largest of 
these ponds, Long Pond, in Harwich, is 2\ miles long. These un- 
drained areas are the spaces occupied by huge masses of ice while 
the drift was being deposited around them from the margins of the 
glacier. 

The most prominent glacial deposits in the State are seen along 
the shores of Massachusetts and Buzzards bays and on Marthas 
Vineyard and Nantucket. In these areas there are belts of very 
irregular ground, much of which is 200 feet above the sea and con- 
tains numerous undrained ponds, irregular valleys, and hummocky 
hills. They are the terminal moraines formed by the dumping of 
waste around the margins of two great lobes of the glacier. The 
inner semicircular outline of Cape Cod was formed by one lobe, 
and the crescent of the Elizabeth Islands and the east shore of Buz- 
zards Bay was formed by the other. These lobes nearly united, and 
the material dumped between them forms the high irregular country 
as far north as Scituate. Two similar loops during an eastern and 
farther advance of the ice formed the high ground of Marthas Vine- 
yard and Nantucket. The higher hills were due to the great accumu- 
lations near the ice margins, and the lower ground to the south was 
formed by the outward wash of sand and gravel. These high mar- 
ginal drift masses, called the moraines, curve broadly as a whole and 
form the divides as above described. Large groups of the morainic 
hills stand more than 200 feet above sea level between Plymouth and 
Barnstable, but from Barnstable to the end of the Cape few exceed 
100 feet. Manomet Hill, in Plymouth, 394 feet, is the highest point 
on the moraine and also the highest ground east of the Wrentham 
and Quincy hill belt. Marthas Vineyard also includes numerous 
hills above 200 feet. Most of the rest of the coastal plain lies below 
100 feet. 

DEFINITION OF TERMS. 

The volume of water flowing in a stream — the "run-off" or " dis- 
charge" — is expressed in various terms, each of which has become 
associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 
into two groups — (1) those that represent a rate of flow, as second- 
feet, gallons per minute, miners' inches, and discharge in second- 
feet per square mile, and (2) those that represent the actual quantity 
of water, as run-off in depth of inches, acre-feet, and millions of 
cubic feet. The principal terms used in this report are second-feet, 
second-feet per square mile, run-off in inches, and millions of cubic 
feet. They may be defined as follows: 

" Second-feet" is an abbreviation for " cubic feet per second." 
A second-foot is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel 
of rectangular cross-section 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep at an average 



24 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental 
unit from which others are computed by the use of the factors given 
in the tables of convenient equivalents (pp. 300-302). 

" Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet 
of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, 
on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as 
regards time and area. 

" Run-off (depth in inches) 7 ' is the depth to which an area would 
be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were 
uniformly distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing 
run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth of inches. . 

" Millions of cubic feet" is applied to quantities of water stored 
in reservoirs, most frequently in connection with studies of flood 
control. 

The following terms not in common use are here defined: 

"Discharge relation," an abbreviation for the term "relation of 
gage height to discharge." 

"Control," "controlling section," and "point of control," terms 
used to designate the section or sections of the stream below the 
gage which determine the discharge relation at the gage. It should 
be noted that the control may not be the same section or sections at 
all stages. 

The "point of zero flow" for a given gaging station is that point 
on the gage — the gage height — to which the surface of the river would 
fall if there were no flow. 

EXPLANATION OF DATA. 

The data presented in this report are in general divided into 
periods beginning October 1 and ending September 30 of the fol- 
lowing year. At the 1st of January in most parts of the United 
States much of the precipitation in the preceding three months is 
stored as ground water, in the form of snow or ice, or in ponds, lakes, 
and swamps, and this stored water passes off in the streams during 
and after the spring break-up. At the end of September, on the 
other hand, the only stored water available for run-off is possibly a 
small quantity in the ground; therefore the run-off for the year 
beginning October 1 is practically all derived from precipitation 
within that year. 

The base data collected at gaging stations (PI. II, B) consist of 
records of stage, measurements of discharge, and general information 
used to supplement the gage heights and discharge measurements in 
determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either 
from direct readings on a staff gage or from a water-stage recorder 
(PL III) that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measure-

merits of discharge are made with a current meter (PL II, A) by the 
general methods outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement 
of river discharge. 

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 
give the discharge for any stage, and these rating tables, when applied 
to the gage heights, give the discharge from which daily, monthly? 
and yearly mean discharge is determined. 

The data presented for each gaging station in the area covered by 
this report comprise a description of the station, a table giving results 
of discharge measurements, a table showing the daily discharge of 
the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. 

If the base data are insufficient to determine the daily discharge, 
tables giving daily gage heights and results of discharge measure- 
ments are published. 

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 
regarding location and equipment, information in regard to any con- 
ditions that may affect the constancy of the discharge relation, cov- 
ering such subjects as the occurrence of ice, the use of the stream for 
log driving, shifting of channel, and the cause and effect of back- 
water; it gives also information as to diversions that decrease the 
flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and minimum 
recorded stages, and the accuracy of the records. 

The table of daily discharge gives the discharge in second-feet 
corresponding to the mean of the gage heights read each day. At 
stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal fluctuation 
the discharge obtained from the rating table and the mean daily 
gage height may not be the true mean discharge for the day. If 
such stations are equipped with automatic gages the true mean daily 
discharge may be obtained by applying the rating table to gage 
height figures at short intervals throughout the day. 

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed " Maximum" 
gives the mean flow for the day when the mean gage height was 
highest. As the gage height is the mean for the day it does not 
indicate correctly the stage when the water surface was at crest 
height and the corresponding discharge was consequently larger than 
given in the maximum column. Likewise, in the column headed 
"Minimum" the quantity given is the mean flow for the day when 
the mean gage height was lowest. The column headed " Mean " is the 
average flow in cubic feet for each second during the month. On 
this average flow computations recorded in the remaining columns, 
which are defined on pages 23-24, are based. 

The deficiency table presented for some of the gaging stations 
shows the number of days in each year on which the mean daily dis- 
charge was less than the discharge given in the table. By subtrac- 



26 SUEFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

i 

tion the table gives the number of days each year that the mean 
daily discharge was between the discharges given in the table and, 
also by subtraction, the number of days 'that the mean daily dis- 
charge was equal to or greater than the discharge given. For con- 
venience the theoretical horsepower per foot of fall corresponding to 
the discharge is also given in the table. In using the table for studies 
of power, allowance should be made for the various losses, the most 
important being wheel loss and head loss. 

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS. 

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the 
permanency of the discharge relation and (2) on the accuracy of 
observation of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of 
records. 

Footnotes added to the daily discharge tables give information 
regarding the probable accuracy of the rating tables used, and an 
accuracy column is inserted in the monthly discharge table. For 
the rating tables, "well defined" indicates, in general, that the rating 
is probably accurate within 5 per cent; "fairly well defined," within 
10 per cent; "poorly defined" or "approximate," within 15 to 25 
per cent. These notes are very general and are based on the plotting 
of the individual measurements with reference to the mean rating 
curve. 

The letter in the column headed "Accuracy", in the monthly dis- 
charge table, rates the accuracy of the monthly mean and not that 
of the estimate of maximum or minimum discharge or the discharge 
for any one day. The rating is determined by considering the 
accuracy of the rating curve, the probable reliability of the observer, 
the number of gage readings per day, the range of the fluctuation in 
stage, and local conditions. In this column, A indicates that the 
mean monthly flow is probably accurate within 5 per cent; B, within 
10 per cent; C, within 15 per cent; D, within 25 per cent. Special 
conditions are covered by footnotes. 

The monthly means for any station may represent with high accu- 
racy the quantity of water flowing past the gage, but the figures 
showing discharge per square mile and depth of run-off in inches 
may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large non- 
contributing districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of 
information concerning water diverted for various uses, or by ina- 
bility to interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the 
river above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and "Run- 
off (depth in inches)" are therefore not computed if such errors 
appear probable. All figures representing "second-feet per square 



SPECIAL CONDITIONS AFFECTING HYDEOMETR1C WORK. 27 

mile" and " run-off (depth in inches)" previously published by the 
Survey should be used with caution because of possible inherent 
sources of error not known to the Survey. 

The table of monthly discharge gives only a general idea of the 
flow at the station and should not be used for other than preliminary 
estimates; the tables of daily discharge allow more detailed studies 
of the variation in flow. It should be borne in mind, however, that 
the observations in each succeeding year may be expected to throw 
new light on data previously published. 

SPECIAL CONDITIONS AFFECTING HYDROMETRIC 
WORK IN MASSACHUSETTS. 

At most of the gaging stations on streams in Massachusetts water- 
stage recorders have been found necessary on account of the large 
diurnal fluctuations in stage due to the operation of power plants. 
The flow of some of the streams is so completely regulated for power 
that estimates made from two gage readings a day are subject to 
errors amounting to several hundred per cent. The type of fluc- 
tuation occurring in a very completely regulated power stream is 
illustrated by the hydrograph of Quaboag River at West Brimfield, 
Mass. (fig. 1). Kot only is there a large diurnal fluctuation in stage, 
but the form of the hydrograph varies at different times, so that it 
would be impossible to apply any coefficient to deduce the mean stage 
from two observations a day. Sundays and holidays, when the mills 
were not running, are easily noted by the changed appearance of the 
hydrograph. 

The diurnal fluctuations of a partly regulated stream are illus- 
trated by the hydrographs of Swift River at West Ware, Mass. 
(fig. 2). Although the form of the hydrograph and the amount of 
fluctuation may vary with the conditions of operation of the power 
plants for ordinary conditions of operation, when the mean dis- 
charge of this stream is below 100 second-feet the regulation entirely 
changes the natural conditions of flow and would make two obser- 
vations a day of little value. For a mean discharge of 200 second- 
feet the effect of power regulation is slight, the peaks on the gage- 
height hydrograph being nearly submerged. Above 300 second- 
feet there appears to be no appreciable effect from power operation. 
For this stream the data obtained without the use of a water-stage 
recorder would probably be classed as "good" for about three 
months of the year, "fair" for about four months, and decidedly 
"poor" for the remaining five months. Any use of the data requir- 
ing a knowledge of the low-water flow would require continuous 
gage-height records.

Other types of fluctuation are illustrated by the hydrographs for 
Deerfield River at Charlemont, Mass. (fig. 3), and Westfield River 
near Westfield, Mass. (Rg. 4). The hydrograph of the Westfield

A 'knowledge of the maximum flow and its duration may be all 
important in connection with flood prevention. 

The water-stage recorders used in collecting the data presented in 
this report are of two general types. The instruments of one type 
give a continuous graphic record of gage-height changes; those of 
the other print in figures every 15 minutes the height of water on 
the gage. (See PL III.) 

As might be expected, the difficulty of determining the flow of 
power-regulated streams does not end when the continuous record 
of stage is obtained, but calls for special office methods in interpret- 
ing the records, for, as the relation of the gage height to discharge 
would be represented by a curvilinear function, the sudden changes 
in stage require the application of the rating table at short intervals

of time. On some of the streams it is necessary to apply the dis- 
charge rating in such a manner as to determine the discharge hourly 
throughout the year; on others two or four hour periods are used, 
and on streams affected less severely the discharge rating can be 
applied to the mean gage height for the 24-hour period. Various 
combinations of time intervals are used according to the stage and 
amount of fluctuation, and an effort is made to insure the highest 
degree of accuracy consistent with a rational expenditure of time 
and money. 

Another feature which complicates the collection of stream-flow 
data in Massachusetts is the low temperature during the winter 
months and its effect on the regimen of the streams. The gaging 
stations are so located that under conditions of open water a given

stage of the stream, or gage height, represents a certain definite 
quantity of water passing the gage, the relation between the two 
being determined by a series of current-meter measurements taken 
at different stages. With the formation of ice this known relation 
ceases and conditions at once become uncertain and unstable. Fairly 
accurate determinations of the discharge of streams covered with or

containing ice can, however, be made if several current-meter meas- 
urements of discharge are obtained and the gage-height record is 
continued. 1 If conditions of flow are such that two gage-height 
observations a day are sufficient, the records may be obtained during 
the winter without great difficulty, although at greater expense on 
account of the need of more discharge measurements. For automatic- 
gage stations, however, considerable difficulty is frequently encoun- 
tered in keeping the gage well free from ice. Special construction

becomes necessary and constant supervision is required to insure 
proper operation of the instruments. Plate X, B (p. 180), shows ice on 
Farmington Kiver at New Boston, Mass., March 4, 1914. The pecu- 
liar conditions here illustrated were caused by the break-up of a 
small tributary that enters a quarter of a mile above the gage. The 
ice from the tributary, which has a steep gradient, piled up on 
the gaging section while the ice in the main stream below the gage 
was not carried out. Another peculiar condition is illustrated by 
Plate X, A (p. 180), which shows the effect of fluctuations in stage 
causing unstable conditions of the ice at the gaging section. The 
effects of the fluctuations in flow are also greatly increased dur- 
ing the winter period, as may be seen by referring to the hydrograph 
of Quaboag River at West Brimfield, Mass., for January, 1914 
(fig. 1, B). _ . 

The special methods required to carry on stream gaging work 
successfully under the conditions of rapid fluctuation in stage and 
in a climate subject to the rigors of a northern winter are the out- 
growth of years of experience by engineers of the Geological Survey.

HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN. 
GENERAL FEATURES. 

Housatonic River rises in Berkshire County, Mass., its head- 
waters interlocking with those of Westfield River on the east, the 
Hoosic on the north, and Kinderhook Creek on the west. The 
head of the main stream is found near Washington Station, in the 
town of Washington, and its course is northward to Dalton. From 
Dalton the river flows southwestward to Pittsfield, where it receives 
a branch from the north and whence its general course is southerly 
to Long Island Sound, which it enters near Stratford, Conn. It is 
about 125 miles long and its drainage area comprises 1,930 square 
miles. The drainage area above the Massachusetts State line is 
532 square miles, of which 487 square miles is in Massachusetts, 33 
square miles in New York, and 12 square miles in Connecticut. The 
area above the gaging station near Great Barrington is 280 square 
miles and above the station at Falls Village, Conn., 644 square miles. 

Some of the headwater streams rise at an altitude exceeding 
2,000 feet above sea level. At Pittsfield the elevation is about 
1,000 feet. In its lower course the river traverses a wide valley, 
much of which is occupied by farms. In most places the bed of the 
river is composed of gravel, but in a few it is made up of ledges of 
limestone and granite, which produce falls. The basin is to some 
extent forested, especially in the headwater region, but as a whole 
it consists largely of farm lands. The basin includes about 15 square 
miles of lako and pond surface, and offers some opportunities for 
improvement of storage.

Drainage area. — 644 square miles (authority Stone & Webster Engineering Corpo- 
ration). 

Records available. — July 11, 1912, to September 30, 1915. 

Gage. — Temporary staff gages July 11 to October 26, 1912; chain gage 1,500 feet below 
the railroad station October 27, 1912, to May 22, 1914; Stevens water-stage recorder 
300 feet below chain gage, December 15, 1913, to September 30, 1915; all gage 
heights referred to datum of chain gage. 

Discharge measurements. — Made by wading at low stages, from a boat at medium 
stages, and by means of floats at flood stages. 

Channel and control. — Channel deep and fairly uniform in cross section;' one 
channel at all times; control not clearly denned except at low stages; probably 
permanent. 

Extremes op discharge. — Maximum stage recorded: 13.3 feet at 4.30 p. m., March 
29, 1914; discharge, 8,830 second-feet. Minimum stage recorded: Zero, at yarious 
times during the months of October, 1914. to January, 1915, owing to shutting

Regulation. — Prior to June, 1914, the flow at low water was regulated by power 
plants farther upstream; since June, 1914, the plant of the Connecticut Power Co. 
has completely regulated the low- water flow. The plant has a present capacity 
of 9.000 kilowatts with a normal head on the wheels of 90 feet. 

Accuracy. — Record has been obtained by standard methods of stream-gaging and is 
considered good.

Note. — The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot of fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were, respectively, less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using 
this table allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which 
may be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which may be as large as 5 per cent. 

CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

Connecticut River rises in the Connecticut lakes in northern New 
Hampshire and flows southward between New Hampshire and Ver- 
mont and across Massachusetts and Connecticut into Long Island 
Sound. It is the largest river in New England except the St. John, 
is about 345 miles long, and drains an area of 11,300 square miles, 
which is distributed as follows: 

Square miles. 

Canada 105 

New Hampshire 3, 120 

Vermont 3, 970 

Massachusetts 2, 720 

Connecticut .> 1, 430 

The river has many important tributaries, among which are Pas- 
sumpsio, Ammonoosuc, Wells, White, Mascoma, Ottaqueechee, Sugar, 
West, and Ashuelot rivers, which join north of the Massachusetts 
line; Millers, Deerfield, Chicopee, and Westfleld rivers, which enter 
in the State of Massachusetts; and Farmington River, which enters 
near Hartford, Conn. . 



CONNECTICUT RIVEE BASIN. 41 

From its headwaters in the Connecticut lakes to Long Island 
Sound the Connecticut falls about 1,900 feet. The upper parts of 
its basin are rugged, and for the most part forested, and the surface 
is broken by undulating ridges which here and there rise to mountain 
height. In central and southern New Hampshire and Vermont 
the country is hilly and most of the tributary streams have a good 
fall, but more of the area is in cultivation. Deerfield and Westfield 
rivers, rising in the Berkshires, in Massachusetts, are quick-spilling 
streams, with steep slopes and narrow valleys, largely wooded; 
Millers and Chicopee rivers, on the east, drain a flatter country in 
which ponds and reservoirs are numerous. In Connecticut the river 
valley is as a rule broad and the country rolling, its soil is very 
fertile, and it is an important farming district. 

The rocks are in general granite, gneiss, mica slate, and mica 
schists. An exception to this is the red sandstone in the Connecti- 
cut Valley extending from New Haven nearly to the northern bound- 
ary of Massachusetts. The prevailing surface material is glacial 
drift. 

The mean annual precipitation in the Connecticut Valley is about 
40 inches, ranging from about 45 inches at Hartford to probably 
about 35 inches in the extreme upper portions. In a general way, 
there is usually a difference of a month in the time of beginning of 
the spring season in the lower portion of the river and at its headwaters, 
and this tends to diminish the severity of floods from melting snow 
and equalize the spring run-off. The range in winter weather is also 
somewhat variable, the lower courses of the river being frequently 
subject to several thaws, whereas the upper third of the river usually 
remains frozen throughout the winter. Snow accumulates to con- 
siderable depths. The river is navigable to Hartford and, by smaller 
boats, as far as Holyoke. 

The natural facilities for storage on Connecticut River are perhaps 
less than on many of the New England rivers, although on Millers, 
Deerfield, and Chicopee rivers some storage has been developed. 
There are, however, many places in this basin where reservoirs could 
be constructed, and there is need of systematic effort in this direction 
as the low-water flow on the Connecticut could be much improved 
by utilizing some of these storage sites, especially in the upper parts 
of the basin. Sunapee Lake, tributary to the Connecticut through 
Sugar River, is 6.5 square miles in area and can be drawn down 60 
inches. 

The Connecticut and its tributaries are very important for water 
power. On the main river large power plants are in operation at 
Wilder, Bellows Falls, Vernon, Turners Falls, and Holyoke, but many 
power sites in this basin still remain undeveloped. 



42 



SUKFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 



The longest record of flow in the Connecticut basin is that made 
at Holyoke, Mass., which extends back to 1880. This record was 
interrupted in 1899, but since 1904 the records of the station at 
Sunderland are available. The driest year during the period cov- 
ered by these records was 1882-83, and the wettest 1889-90, the 
total flow during these two years being about in the ratio of 1 to 2.06. 

The drainage areas of the river and of several of its tributaries are 
given in the following table :

CONNECTICUT RIVER AT ORFORD, N. H. 

Location. — At covered highway bridge between Orford, N. H., and Fairlee, Vt., 
approximately 10 miles downstream (by river) from mouth of Waits River. 

Drainage area. — 3,100* square miles. 

Records available. — August 6, 1900, to September 30, 1915. 

•Gage. — Chain attached to upstream side of bridge and inclined staff on left bank 
below bridge. 

Discharge measurements. — Open- water measurements made from downstream side 
of the bridge or from a cable. 

Channel and control. — Channel wide and deep with gravelly bottom; control for 
low stages slightly shifting. 

Extremes op discharge. — Maximum stage recorded, 1900-1915: 33.4 feet at noon, 
March 28, 1913 (see fig. 5, p. 56); approximate discharge, determined from exten- 
sion of rating curve, 57,300 second-feet. Minimum discharge for 24 hours: 288 
second-feet, September 28, 1908. 

Winter plow. — Discharge relation seriously affected by ice, usually from December 
to March, but the relation remains unusually constant during each period. 

Regulation. — A special study by means of temporary installation of a water-stage 
recorder during September and October, 1914, showed no appreciable effect 
from the operation of any power plants above the station. 

Accuracy. — Rating curve fairly well defined and estimates during open-water periods 
considered good.

Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot of fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using this 
table allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which may 
be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which may be as large as 5 per cent. 

CONNECTICUT RIVER AT SUNDERLAND, MASS. 

Location. — At the five-span steel highway bridge at Sunderland, about 18 miles in 
a direct line and 24 miles by river above the dam at Holyoke. Deerfield River 
enters the Connecticut from the west about 8 miles above the station. 

Records available. — April 1, 1904, to September 30, 1915. 

Drainage area. — 8,000 l square miles. 

Gage. — Chain on downstream side of bridge. 

Discharge measurements. — Made from the bridge. 

Channel and control. — Channel deep, bottom of coarse gravel and alluvium. 
Control at low stages not well defined but practically permanent; at. high stages 
it is evidently the crest of the dam at Holyoke. 

Extremes of discharge. — Maximum stage during 1904-1915, 30.7 feet during the 
night of March 28, 1913 (see fig. 5) (determined by leveling from flood-marks) 
(approximate discharge computed from extension of rating curve, 101,000 second- 
feet). Minimum stage recorded, 0.G foot September 28 and November 8, 1914 
(approximate discharge computed from extension of rating curve, 700 second-feet.) 

Winter flow. — Discharge relation seriously affected by ice for several months. 
Regulation. — Flow affected by operation of various power plants on the main river 
and tributaries above the station. The effect of the regulation is shown by low 
water at the gage on Sundays and Mondays. 
Accuracy. — Gage read twice each day; record good.

SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 



CONNECTICUT RIVER AT HOLYOKE, MASS. 

Location. — At the dam of the Holyoke Water Power Co. at Holyoke. 

Drainage area. — 8,390* square miles. 

Records available. — January 1, 1880, to December 31, 1899. 

Determination of discharge. — Discharge determined by adding the water wasting 
over the dam to the flow through the canals of the power company. Flow over 
dam determined by taking the mean of the flow for the 12-day hours and the flow 
for the 12 night hours ; flow in canals obtained by weighting the flow during the 
day of 10 hours and the flow during the night of 14 hours. Record does not show 
the effect of storage above the dam but gives the flow below Holyoke. 

Extremes op discharge. — Maximum 24-hour flow recorded 1880-1899: 115,000 
second-feet, April 16, 1895. Minimum 24-hour flow recorded: No flow at various 
times when water was being stored above the dam. 

Cooperation. — Record of daily discharge furnished by the Holyoke Water Power Co. 
through A. F. Sickman, hydraulic engineer. Monthly and yearly discharge 
computed by engineers of the Geological Survey. 

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Connecticut River aVHolyohe, Mass., for the years ending 

Sept. 30, 1880-1899.

Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using this table allow- 
ance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which may be as large 
as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which may be as large as 5 per cent.

82 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

MILLERS RIVER BASIN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

Millers River is formed in the town of Ashburnham by the union 
of Bear Meadow and Bluefield brooks. Bluefield Brook, which 
drains the larger area and is therefore considered the continuation of 
the river, rises in the southwestern part of the town of New Ipswich, 
Hillsborough County, N. H., in a small pond on the south slope of 
Barrett Mountain, and flows southwestward 3J miles to its. junction 
with Bear Meadow Brook. From this point the general course of the 
Millers is southwesterly and westerly to Millers Falls, where it turns 
sharply and flows northward to its junction with the Connecticut. 
The river is about 45 miles long and drains 394 square miles. The 
principal tributary streams from the north are Priest Brook, Tully 
River, Orcutt, Moss, and Keyup brooks; from the south, Otter River t 
Beaver Brook, Mill Creek, and Whetstone, Osgood, and Wickett 
brooks. 

The basin contains a large number of ponds, the largest being Lake 
Monomonac. Many of these ponds are regulated for the benefit of 
storage, and for this reason the flow is not flashy, presenting in this 
respect a striking contrast to Deerfield River, which enters the 
Connecticut from the west and drains a somewhat larger area. 
The precipitation in the basin ranges from 45 inches in the upper part 
to 40 inches in the lower. 

Much of the region drained is well wooded, hardwood growths pre- 
dominating. The principal rock of the region is granite, and clay 
and sand are abundant. 

The water power afforded by the river has been fairly well de- 
veloped, especially between Athol and Millers Falls, but much of the 
power now lost in the rapids below Erving might be conserved and 
the value of the present power units might be materially increased by 
utilizing more of the available storage sites. 

MILLERS RIVER AT WENDELL DEPOT, MASS. 

Location. — At the railroad bridge at Wendell Depot, immediately below the dam 
of the Athol Gas & Electric Co. 

Drainage area. — 353 square miles. 

Records available.— Discharge measurements June 5, 1909, to September 22, 1913. 

Gage.— Chain gage at the bridge 1909-1912; in 1913 two gages— one in the pond above 
the hydroelectric plant and the other in the tailrace. 

Discharge measurements.— Made from the railroad bridge or by wading. Measure- 
ments for rating wheels made from footbridge across tailrace. 

Channel and control. — Bed rough; control at high and medium stages, a dam 1£ 
miles below station. 

Extremes of discharge. — Maximum discharge, approximately 4,500 second-feet, 
morning of March 28, 1913. 

Winter flow. — -Discharge relation affected by ice during short periods. 



MILLERS RIVER BASIN. 



83 



Regulation. — At ordinary stages the river is under complete control of the power 
plant of the Athol Gas & Electric Co., which was put into operation June, 1910. 
Power plants farther upstream, at Orange and Athol, also affect distribution of 
flow. 

Accuracy. — -The extent and rapidity of diurnal fluctuations incident to the opera- 
tion of the power plant of the Athol Gas & Electric Co. made it impossible to base 
estimates of daily discharge on two gage readings a day, and an attempt was 
made to utilize records of sluice gates and wheel-gate openings and ratings of 
discharge through the wheels at the power plant. Owing to the range and rapidity 
of changes in gate openings and the necessity of installing recording instruments 
on the wheel governors it was found to be impracticable to secure accurate dis- 
charge data at this place. 

Records of stage can not be used for the computation of discharge and are there- 
fore not published.

SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 



MILLERS RIVER AT ERVING, MASS. 

Location. -—At downstream end of chair factory at Erving, about 8 miles above the 
confluence of Millers River with Connecticut River and below all important 
tributaries. 

Drainage area.— : 372 square miles. 

Records available.— August 1, 1914, to September 30, 1915. 

Gages. — Staff gage attached to factory August 1, 1914, to June 30, 1915; water-stage 
recorder July 1 to September 30, 1915. 

Discharge measurements. — -Made from cable or by wading. 

Channel and control.-— Bed composed of coarse gravel and bowlders; control for 
low stages is a short distance below the gage and is practically permanent. 

Extremes op stage. —Maximum stage recorded: 5.5 feet at 4 p. m., February 25, 
1915; discharge, 4,850 second-feet. Minimum discharge, practically no flow at 
various times, water being stored farther upstream. 

.Winter flow.— Discharge relation somewhat affected by ice. 

Regulation.— Operation of power plants at Athol, Orange, Wendell, and Erving 
affects the flow to such an extent that mean daily discharge can not be accurately 
determined from two gage heights a day. 

Accuracy. — 'Rating curve fairly well defined, partly by measurements obtained subse- 
quent to September 30, 1915. Monthly records prior to July 1, 1915, obtained as 
explained in the footnote to the daily discharge table, are somewhat uncertain.

6 Discharge estimated by comparison with readings made twice a day. 

c Gage read in morning only. Afternoon discharge taken as mean of discharge for preceding and follow- 
ing mornings in computing monthly records. 

Note. — Discharge computed from a rating curve fairly well denned below 1,800 second-feet, several 
discharge measurements obtained subsequent to Sept. 30, 1915, being used to determine the curve. Mean 
discharge computed from automatic gage records. A discharge record computed from two readings a 
day, made about 8 a. m. and 4. p. m. on staff gage, is given for July, August, and September, 1915, subse- 
quent to installation of automatic gage, for the purpose of comparing record obtained from two readings a 
day with that obtained by means of the automatic gage. Monthly discharge for period prior to installation 
of automatic gage obtained by applying a reduction factor of 0.90 to means from readings twice a day, this 
factor being determined by a comparative study of results subsequent to installation of automatic gage. 
Discharge relation affected by ice at various times during December, 1914, and January and February, 
1915; discharge for these mouths estimated from observer's record and climatic data.

MOSS BROOK AT WENDELL DEPOT, MASS. 

Location. — Just above junction with Millers River, at Wendell Depot. 
Drainage area. — 12.5 square miles (approximate). 

Records available. — June 4 to October 16, 1909; April 25 to August 27, 1910. 
Gage. — In 1909, vertical staff attached to highway bridge 100 feet above mouth of 

stream; in 1910, vertical staff in pond above a weir about one-fourth mile above 

mouth of the stream. 
Discharge measurements. — Made by wading. 
Channel and control. — Bed of stream rough and rocky; one channel at all stages. 

Control for gage used in 1909 was drowned out by the Athol Gas & Electric Co.'s 

dam on Millers River; control for 1910 was a sharp-crested weir constructed about 

one-fourth mile above mouth of stream. 
Extremes of discharge. — Maximum discharge for 24 hours: 70 second-feet, April 

27, 1910; minimum discharge for 24 hours: 0.3 second-foot, June 30, 1910. 
Accuracy. — Discharge record only approximate.

PROFILE OF DEERFIELD RIVER. 



SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 89 

DEERFIELD RIVER BASIN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

Deerfield River, the second largest tributary of Connecticut River 
in Massachusetts, rises in the towns of Stratton and Somerset, Vt., 
and follows a general southeasterly course to its junction with Con- 
necticut River near Greenfield, Mass. In Vermont it receives the 
East Branch at Searsburg, the North Branch at Wilmington, and 
the West Branch at Readsboro. North River, entering at Shelburne 
Falls, and Green River at Greenfield are the most important tribu- 
taries in Massachusetts. The length of the river above the Massa- 
chusetts State line is 30 miles; below the Massachusetts line the 
river is 42 miles long. 

Much of the basin is wooded and but little land is under cultiva- 
tion except along the lower stretches. Most of the slopes are steep, 
elevations in the upper parts of the basin exceeding 3,800 feet above 
sea level. 

The mean annual precipitation in the headwater areas of the basin 
is probably about 48 inches; in the lower part it is several inches 
less. Winters are usually severe. The average depth of snowfall 
for January and February at Jacksonville, Vt., is about 25 inches, 
and the mean temperature for these months is about 18° F. 

Owing to the steep rocky slopes the river throughout its course is 
quick falling and rapid and is naturally flashy. A large storage reser- 
voir at Somerset, Vt., put into use in 1913, has a marked effect on the 
distribution of run-off during the spring and summer months. A 
system of power plants has been constructed which utilizes very 
efficiently a large part of the energy of the river. The larger tribu- 
taries afford several possible power sites, and some additional develop- 
ments are still possible on the main stream. A generalized profile of 
the river is given in Plate IV, and views of the gaging station at 
Charlemont and power plants near Shelburne Falls in Plates V, VI, 
and VII. 

DEERFIELD RIVER AT HOOSAC TUNNEL, MASS. 

Location. — At wooden highway bridge near Hoosac Tunnel railroad station about 
4£ miles below Dunbar Brook, 3 miles above Pelham Brook, and about 4 miles 
above Cold Brook. 

Drainage area. — 257 square miles. 

Records available. — August 8, 1909, to November 30, 1913; also a discharge 
measurement made October 29, 1906. 

Gage. — Chain fastened to downstream side of bridge. 

Discharge measurements. — Made from bridge or by wading. 

Channel and control. — Bed of coarse gravel; very rough; control practically per- 
manent. 

Extremes op discharge. — Maximum stage recorded: 10.7 feet, 6.30 a. m., October 
24, 1912; discharge, 17,200 second-feet. Minimum stage recorded: 0.68 foot, 
7 a. m., July 7, 1912; discharge, 6 second-feet.

SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 



Winter flow. — Discharge relation seriously affected by ice. 

Regulation. — Distribution of flow seriously affected by operation of numerous mills 

on the main river and its tributaries above the station and during 1913 by storage 

in a reservoir at Somerset, Vt. 
Accuracy.— Individual determinations of discharge good, but the diurnal fluctuation 

is so large that mean daily or monthly discharge has not been computed.

Note. — Relation of gage height to discharge affected by ice during January, February, and March, 1911, 
and Tan. 6 to about Mar. 13, 1912. Discharge determined from a fairly well-defined rating cur e. 

Discharge determined from a fairly well defined rating curve; mean daily discharge not compxited because 
of the unknown range of diurnal fluctuation. Figures for 1909 and 1910 are somewhat uncertain on account 
of apparent unreliability of observer. 



DEERFIELD RIVER BASIN". 



103 



DEERFIELD RIVER AT CHARLEMONT, MASS. 

Location. — One mile below the village of Charlemont. 

Drainage area. — 362 square miles. 

Records available. — June 19, 1913, to September 30, 1915. 

Gages. — Water-stage recorder on left bank, referred to gage datum by a hook gage 

inside the well; outside sloping staff gage used for auxiliary readings. (See 

PI. V.) 
Discharge measurements. — Made from cable or by wading. 
Channel and control. — Channel of coarse gravel and bowlders; fairly uniform 

section; control practically permanent. 
Extremes of discharge. — Maximum stage recorded 1913-1915: 15.7 feet, July 8, 

1915; approximate discharge, 45,000 second-feet. Minimum stage recorded: 

1.35 feet, September 21 and November 3, 1914; discharge, 23 second-feet. 
Winter flow. — Discharge relation affected by ice during winter months. 
Regulation. — Flow during summer months largely regulated by a storage reservoir 

at Somerset, Vt. Several power plants above station cause diurnal fluctuation. 
Accuracy. — Rating curve well defined as shown by figure 6. Records highly 

accurate.

Note.— Discharge determined from a well-defined rating curve (see fig. 6) by averaging the discharge 
for 24 hourly peri ds each dav, except for short periods when automatic gage was not working proper'y. 
Discharge relation affected by ice as follows: Dec. 29, 1913, to Mar. 26, 1914; Nov. 19, 1914, to Jan. 18, 1915; 
and Jan. 29 to Feb. 23, 1915; daily discharge estimated by hydrograph method of determining backwater 
due to ice.

Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using 
this table, allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which 
may be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, -which may be as large as 5 per cent. 



DEEEFIELD RIVER BASIN. 



107 



DEERFIELD RIVER AT SHELBURNE FALLS, MASS. 

Location. — At the plant of the Greenfield Electric Light & Power Co. (PI. VI), 1 
mile below Shelburrie Falls, from June 1, 1907, to December 31, 1913. At power 
station No. 3 of the New England Power Co., from January 1, 1914, to September 
30, 1915. 

Drainage area. — 501 square miles at first location. 500 square miles at second 
location. 

Records available. — June 1, 1907, to September 30, 1915. 

Dam and power plant. — The dam at the plant of the Greenfield Electric Light & 
Power Co. is of concrete, of ogee section, and is similar to one that has been rated. 
The height of the dam was increased 3 feet in the fall of 1908. Ratings of one of 
the two power units have been made by engineers of the Geological Survey for 
use in conjunction with the Holyoke ratings of the wheels. 

Computations of discharge. — The flow is computed from records of gate openings, 
power readings, height of water on the dam, in the fore bay, in the tailrace, and 
at the wasteways. The total electrical output is measured twice a day. 

Extremes of discharge. — Maximum 24-hour discharge computed 1907-1915: 
21,300 second-feet, April 15, 1909. Minimum 24-hour discharge, practically 
zero at various times when water was held back by dams. 

Accuracy. — Owing to the extreme care with which the readings are made in winter 
and summer, the records are considered good. 

Cooperation. — Records furnished by H. K. Barrows, Boston, Mass., and by the 
New England Power Co. 

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Deer field River at Shelburne Falls, Mass., for the years 

ending Sept. SO, 1907-1915.

b Period Oct. 22 to Sept. 30. 



Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the nu nber of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the anounts given in the colu- 1 ms for discharge and horsepower. In using this 
table allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which may 
be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which may be as large as 5 per cent. 



DEERFIELD RIVER NEAR DEERFIELD, MASS. 

Location. — At suspension highway bridge, one-fourth mile south of West Deerfield 

railroad station and about 2 miles from Deerfield. 
Drainage area. — 550 square miles. 

Records available. — March 29, 1904, to December 15, 1905; also a discharge meas- 
urement made September 21, 1906. 
Gage. — Chain attached to bridge. 

Discharge measurements. — Made from bridge or by wading. 
Channel and control. — Bed composed of rock, gravel, and sand; one channel at all 

stages; control practically permanent. 
Extremes op discharge. — Maximum stage recorded: 7.2 feet at 1.15 p. m., January 

7, 1905; approximate discharge, 17,300 second-feet. Minimum stage recorded: 

1.58 feet September 21, 1906; discharge, 85 second-feet. 
Winter plow. — Discharge relation affected by ice. 

Regulation. — Flow regulated by operation of several power plants above station. 
Accuracy. — On account of the unknown range of diurnal fluctuation the estimates 

of discharge, which are based on two gage readings a day, can be considered only 

approximate.

SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 117 

CHICOPEE RIVER BASIN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

Chicopee River., the largest tributary of the Connecticut with 
respect to drainage area, is formed near Three Rivers, Mass., by the 
confluence of Ware and Quaboag rivers, the third river, from which 
the town derives its name, being the Swift, which is tributary to 
Ware River, about a mile above the mouth of the Quaboag. 

Ware River, which drains the larger area and is therefore consid- 
ered the continuation of the main stream, is formed at Barre Falls 
by the union of two branches. The eastern or main branch rises in 
the town of Westminster, in Worcester County, about a mile east of 
the head of the western branch, flows southwesterly 10 miles to New 
Boston, where it turns abruptly and flows northwestward to Barre 
Falls. The course of the western branch is also southwesterly to 
the point of junction. From Barre Falls the general course of the 
Ware is southwestward to Three Rivers, where it receives the Qua- 
boag. Below the mouth of the Quaboag the Chicopee flows south 
of west to the city of Chicopee, where it enters the Connecticut. 
The distance from the mouth of the Chicopee to the head of the 
eastern branch of Ware River is 60 miles, and the drainage area 
comprises 721 square miles, divided as follows: 

Square miles. 

Ware River at Three Rivers, exclusive of Swift River 221 

Swift River at mouth 213 

Quaboag River at mouth 210 

Chicopee River below Three Rivers 77 

Swift River has three main branches, but the river is formed 
by its east and middle branches, and the middle branch is consid- 
ered the continuation of the stream. This branch rises in North 
Pond, in the town of Orange, and flows southward. The east 
branch joins it 2 miles above Enfield, and the west branch comes 
in 1J miles below that village. The distance from North Pond to 
the junction of the Swift and the Ware is about 30 miles. The gag- 
ing station at West Ware is 8 miles above the mouth of the river, 
and the drainage area at that point comprises 186 square miles. 

Quaboag River, the most southerly of the three principal tribu- 
taries of the Chicopee, flows from Quaboag Pond in the town of Brook- 
field. The principal feeder of Quaboag Pond is East Brookiield 
River, whose headwaters are in the town of Rutland. 1 The general 
course of the Quaboag is southwesterly, and the distance from Qua- 
boag Pond to Three Rivers is 23 miles. The gaging station at West 
Brimfield is 9 miles above the mouth, and the drainage area at that 
point is 150 square miles. At West Warren, 12 miles above the 
mouth, the drainage area is 144 square miles. 

1 See gazetteer, p. 332.

SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 



The country drained by the Chicopee is hilly, and the slope of the 
river averages 15 feet or more to the mile. Many lakes and ponds 
drain to the stream through its numerous tributaries, and the sum- 
mer flow is well sustained. 

The Chicopee is one of the most completely controlled streams in 
Massachusetts, as the natural pond area is large and is supplemented 
by artificial ponds formed at the numerous power plants. (See PI. 
IX, B.) These ponds and reservoirs materially retard floods and 
equalize the flow throughout the year. 

WARE RIVER NEAR WARE, MASS. 

Location. — At the steel highway bridge about 2 miles above the village of Ware. 

Drainage area. — 162 square miles. 

Records available.— Discharge measurements September 15, 1904, to March 8, 
1911. 

Gage. — Chain attached to the bridge. 

Discharge measurements. — Made from the bridge or by wading. 

Channel and control. — Channel is subject to growth of grass and weeds during the 
summer, and on account of this the control is not permanent. At high stages 
the control is at the dam of the Otis Co., 1\ miles below station. 

Winter plow. — Stream seldom freezes at the gage, but the discharge relation is 
affected by backwater from ice farther downstream. 

Regulation.— Flow regulated by the operation of mills above the station, the nearest 
one being at Gilbertville, a little over a mile distant. 

Accuracy. — On account of the large diurnal fluctuation and the shifting control below 
the station, the gage-height record obtained at this station is not considered a 
true index to the discharge. This record and estimates of discharge are withheld 
from publication here, and figures for this station published in previous reports 
should be used with caution.

Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using this 
table, allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which may 
be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which may be as large as 5 per cent. 

BTJRNSHIRT RIVER NEAR TEMPLETON, MASS. 

Location. — Just below Brown Pond dam, 3 miles south of the village of Templeton, 
and 3 miles above Williamsville. 

Drainage area. — 8.4 square miles. 

Records available.— May 26 to December 31, 1909. 

Gage. — Vertical staff just below junction of spillway and tailrace. 

Discharge measurements. — Made by wading. 

Channel and control. — Bed of stream composed of rocks and coarse gravel. Con- 
trol practically permanent. 

Extremes op discharge. — Maximum stage recorded: 1.4 feet, December 2, 1909; 
discharge 17.8 second-feet. Minimum stage recorded: 0.35 foot at various times 
during July, August, and September; discharge 0.85 second-foot. 

Winter flow. — Discharge relation affected by ice. 

Regulation. — Flow affected by storage in reservoir above station. 

Accuracy. — As the gage was read only once a day and the amount of regulation 
unknown, the record can be considered only approximate.

SWIFT RIVER AT WEST WARE, MASS. 

Location.— Just below the timber dam (PI. VIII, B) opposite the West Ware station 

of the Boston & Albany Railroad, about 6 miles downstream from Enfield. 
Drainage. area. — 186 1 square miles. 
Records available. — July 15, 1910, to September 30, 1915. 



Remeasured since published in previous reports. 



CHICOPEE RIVER BASIN.

Gages. — Chain gage attached to downstream side of footbridge about 400 feet below 
the dam used July 15, 1910, to August 25, 1912; Barrett & Lawrence water-stage 
recorder on left bank about 1,000 feet below dam, August 25, 1912, to September 
30, 1915. Automatic gage is referred to gage datum by a hook gage inside the 
well, and an inclined staff is used for auxiliary readings. * 

Discharge measurements. — Made from cable about 50 feet above automatic gage 
or by wading. 

Channel and control.— Bed of gravel and alluvial deposits, some aquatic vegeta- 
tion during summer months. Control at ordinary stages is practically permanent; 
at high stages control is probably the dam at Bondsville. 

Extremes of discharge. — Maximum stage recorded: 9.1 feet, February 26, 1915; 
approximate discharge, determined from an extension of the rating curve, 2,240 
second-feet. Minimum stage recorded: 1.36 feet, September 22, 1914; discharge, 
22 second-feet. 

Winter flow. — Discharge relation not seriously affected by ice. 

Regulation. — Operation of mills at Enfield 6 miles above station affects distribution 
of flow at low and medium stages, but has only a slight effect when the mean 
daily discharge is over 200 second-feet. The diurnal fluctuation is somewhat 
equalized however, by the pondage above the dam at West Ware, which has 
not been used for power for several years. (See Water-Supply Paper 375, p. 132.) 

Accuracy. — Rating curves well defined and records of discharge as published con- 
sidered good. On account of the marked diurnal fluctuation, mean daily and 
monthly discharge could not be computed for period prior to installation of auto- 
matic water-stage recorder. (See fig. 2.)

Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using this 
table, allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which may 
be as large as 20 per cent, and the headdoss, which may be as large as 5 per cent. 



CHICOPEE EIVER BASIN. 



135 



QUABOAG RIVER AT WEST WARREN, MASS. 

Location.— At the dam of J. T. F. MacDonnell at West Warren. 

Drainage area. — 144 square miles. 

Records available.— July 1 to October 18, 1903; October 25, 1904, to April 30, 1907. 

Gages. — Water-stage recorder maintained by the Massachusetts State Board of Health 
from July 1 to October 18, 1903. Vertical staff on left bank near headgates of 
canal; read once a day from October 25, 1904, to April 30, 1907. 

Discharge measurements. — One measurement was made by wading below dam. 

Channel and control. — Control is the crest of the timber crib dam; length, 102.7 
feet. 

Extremes of discharge. — Maximum stage recorded: 52.2 feet, March 28, 1905; 
discharge, 1,210 second-feet. Minimum stage recorded: 50.15 feet, July 21, 1905; 
discharge, 20 second-feet. 

Winter flow. — Discharge relation not affected by ice. 

Regulation. — Flow regulated by operation of mills above station. The diurnal 
fluctuation thus caused is so great that it is considered impossible to compute 
mean daily or monthly discharge from one gage reading a day. 

Accuracy. —Discharge determined by means of a weir formula; record only fair. 

Cooperation. — Discharge record July 1 to October 18, 1903, furnished by Massa- 
chusetts State Board of Health. 

The following discharge measurement was made by F. E. Pressey: 
October 19, 1906: Gage height, 50.6 feet; discharge, 173 second-feet. 

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Quaboag River at West Warren, Mass., for 1903.

a Sunday. Gage read about 4 p. m. 

Note.— Discharge records do not give the mean for the day but are obtained by means of a weir formula 
from one gage reading a day taken about 6.15 a. m., except as noted on Sundays. The readings were taken 
before the mills farther upstream started operation and were not an index to the mean daily discharge. 



QUABOAG RIVER AT WEST BRIMFIELD, MASS. 

Location. — At the two-span highway bridge just west of the West Brimfield station 
of the Boston & Albany Railroad, about 3 miles below West Warren. 

Drainage area. — 150 square miles. 

Records available.— August 23, 1909, to September 30, 1915. 

Gage. — Prior to August 19, 1912, a vertical staff on upstream side of right abutment of 
bridge; August 19, 1912, and subsequently, a water-stage recorder at the down- 
stream end of center pier referred to gage datum by a hook gage inside the well; 
all gages at same datum. 

Discharge measurements. — Made from the bridge or by wading. 

Channel and control. — Bed of bowlders, gravel, and alluvial deposits; two chan- 
. nels under bridge; control practically permanent. 

Extremes op discharge. — Maximum open-water stagie recorded: 4.9 feet, March 1, 
1910; discharge, 1,660 second-feet. Minimum stage recorded : 1.4 feet, September 
17-18, 1910; discharge, 2.5 second-feet. 

Winter flow.— Discharge relation affected by ice. (See PI. IX, A, p. 119.) 

Regulation. — The operation of mills at West Warren causes diurnal fluctuation in 
discharge at the station. For this reason it has not been possible to compute 
mean daily or monthly disoharge prior to the installation of the automatic l: 
(See fig. 1, p. 28.) 

Accuracy. — Rating curve well defined; discharge record since the installation of 
water-stage recorder considered good.

150 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

WESTFIELD RIVER BASIN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

Westfield River rises near Savoy Center, in the town of Savoy, 
at an elevation of 2,300 feet above sea level, flows southeasterly 
through the towns of Windsor, Plainfield, and Cummington to the 
village of Swift River, then southerly through Worthington, Chester- 
field, and Huntington to the city of Huntington, whence its course 
is southeasterly through Montgomery, Blandford, Russell, and 
Westfield to its confluence -with the Connecticut at Springfield. 
From its source to the gaging station at Knightville the distance is 
30 miles. At Knightville the river is 500 feet above sea level, 
and the drainage area comprises 162 square miles. At Russell the 
elevation is 280 feet and the drainage area is 332 square miles. At 
the gaging station near Westfield the elevation is 110 feet and the 
drainage area 496 square miles. The length of the river from Savoy 
to its junction with the Connecticut is 55 miles, and the total drainage 
area is 515 square miles. 

The principal tributaries of the Westfield are its Middle and West 
branches and Westfield Little River. 

The Middle Branch of the Westfield heads among the hills of Peru, 
about 2,200 feet above sea level, and flows southeasterly through 
the towns of Middlefield, Worthington, and Chester to its junction 
with the main stream, about half a mile below the gaging station at 
Goss Heights. The distance from the source of this branch to the 
gaging station is about 17 miles, and the drainage area comprises 53 
square miles. At Goss Heights the river is 415 feet above sea level; 
where it joins the main stream the elevation is 410 feet. 

The West Branch of the Westfield rises in the town of Washington, 
1,900 feet above sea level, and flows southeasterly 22 miles through 
Becket and Chester to Huntington, where it joins the main river. 
The drainage area at this point is 96 square miles. At the gaging 
station in Chester the river is 600 feet above sea level, and the drainage 
area comprises 73 square miles. 

Westfield Little River is formed in the town of Russell by the 
union of Borden and Pebble brooks. Pebble Brook, the continua- 
tion of the main stream, rises in Blandford about 1,560 feet above 
sea level. The stream flows southeasterly to a point a mile south- 
east of Cobble Mountain, then northeastward 2 miles, then again 
southeastward to Westfield, where it unites with Westfield River. 
West of West Parish the basin of this tributary is hilly. Eastward 
the valley is more open. At the gaging station in the town of Rus- 
sell, 3 miles below the confluence of Pebble and Borden brooks, the 
drainage area comprises 48 square miles. The water of this stream 
is used by the city of Springfield for municipal supply. 



WESTFIELD RIVER BASIN. 



151 



The country drained by the Westfield is very hilly and toward the 
headwaters is mountainous. Small tributaries are innumerable. 
The slopes are steep and rocky, and as there is but little storage 
the rainfall quickly finds its way into the main watercourses and 
produces rapid fluctuations in volume. Low water usually lasts from 
early in July to the last part of September. The spring rise comes 
in March or April, and at that time a large proportion of the yearly 
run-off occurs. 



WESTFIELD RIVER AT KNIGHTVILLE, MASS. 

Location. — At the single-span steel highway bridge known locally as the Pitcher 
Bridge, at Knightville, 1 mile north of outlet of Norwich Lake and about 3 miles 
above confluence with Middle Branch of Westfield River. 

Drainage area. — 162 square miles. 

Records available. — August 26, 1909, to September 30, 1915. 

Gage. — Chain attached to downstream side of bridge. 

Discharge measurements. — Made from bridge or by wading. 

Channel and control. — Bed rough, covered with bowlders and ledge rock; control 
practically permanent. 

Extremes of discharge. — Maximum open-water stage recorded: 8.9 feet, March 27, 
1913; approximate discharge, 5,100 second-feet. A gage height of 9.4 feet was 
recorded at 9.15 a. m., January 22, 1910, but the channel was probably obstructed 
by ice at that time. Minimum stage recorded: 0.60 foot, August 10, 1913; dis- 
charge, 4 second-feet. 

Winter flow. — Discharge relation affected by ice. 

Regulation. — Flow not seriously affected by regulation. 

Accuracy. — Rating curve fairly well defined; open-water records good. 

Discharge measurements of Westfield River at Knightville, Mass., during 1909-1915.

Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the amount given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using 
this table allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which 
may be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss which may be as large - as 5 per cent.

WESTFIELD EIVEK BASIN. 



159 



WESTFIELD RIVER NEAR WESTFIELD, MASS. 

Location. — At point known locally as Trap Rock Crossing, about 3 miles east of 

Westfield and 2 miles below mouth of Westfield Little River. Great Brook 

enters about a mile above station. 
Drainage area. — 496 square miles. 

Records available. — June 27, 1914, to September 30, 1915. 
Gages. — Stevens water-stage recorder on right bank; referred to gage datum by a hook 

gage inside the well; inclined staff used for auxiliary readings. 
Discharge measurements. — Made from cable or by wading. 
Channel and control. — Bed of gravel. Control at low and medium stages is about 

200 feet below gage, practically permanent; at high stages probably the crest of 

the dam at Mittineague, 3 miles below station. 
Extremes op discharge. — Maximum stage recorded: 17.4 feet at 11.30 p. m. August 

4, 1915; approximate discharge, determined from an extension of the rating 

curve, 17,400 second-feet. Minimum stage recorded: 3.02 feet, September 24, 

1914; discharge, 46 second-feet. 
Winter flow. — Discharge relation affected by ice. 
Diversions. — Water is diverted from Westfield Little River for municipal supply of 

Springfield. The amount of diversion is added in the table of monthly discharge 

to give total flow of Westfield River. 
Regulation. — Several power plants above station cause some diurnal fluctuation of 

flow. Nearest dam is at Westfield. 
Accuracy. — Records good. 

. Discharge measurements at Westfield River near Westfield, Mass., during 1914-15.

Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using this 
table, allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which may 
be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which may be as large as 5 per cent. 



WEST BRANCH OF WESTFIELD RIVER AT CHESTER, MASS. 

Location. — At steel highway bridge about 500 feet above the Boston & Albany- 
Railroad bridge in the town of Chester and about 400 feet below mouth of Walker 
Brook. 

Drainage area. — 73 square miles. 

Records available. — Station established September 30, 1915; several discharge 
measurements in period 1910 to 1915. 

Gage. — Chain gage attached to upstream side of bridge; read twice daily. 

Discharge measurements. — Made by wading just below mouth of Walker Brook 
or from upstream side of bridge. 

Channel and control.— Channel covered with coarse gravel and bowlders. Riffle 
about 300 feet below the station forms the control. 

Winter plow. — Discharge relation affected by ice. 

Regulation. — Several small power plants on the main stream and Walker Brook 
above the station affect distribution of flow at low stages.

WESTFIELD LITTLE RIVER NEAR WESTFIELD, MASS.i 

Location. — At the diversion dam of the Springfield waterworks, in the town of 
Russell, 3 miles below the confluence of Pebble and Borden brooks and about 3 
miles west of Westfield. Originally (July, 1905, to December, 1909) a short dis- 
tance below Borden Brook near Cobble Mountain. 

Drainage area. — 43 square miles at original site; 48 square miles at present site. 

Records available .--July 13, 1905, to December 31, 1909, at original site; March 1, 
1910, to September 30, 1915, at present site. 

Determination of discharge. — At the original site below Borden Brook (used 
1905-1909) the discharge was determined by methods commonly employed at 
current-meter gaging stations. From August, 1906, to September, 1907, a 30-foot 
weir was maintained a short distance below the gage. 2 

Since March 1, 1910, high- water flow determined from continuous record of 
head on concrete diversion dam (crest length, 155.4 feet), for which coefficients 
have been deduced from experiments at Cornell University; low water flow, less 
than 163 second-feet, determined from continuous record of head on a 12-foot sharp- 
crested weir without end contractions, the crest being 2.55 feet below that of the 
dam. Water diverted to city of Springfield is measured by a 54-inch Venturi 
meter, using continuous record chart. Daily record corrected for storage in a 
reservoir on Borden Brook about 5 miles above station, but owing to the time 
required for water to reach the dam and the natural storage along the stream 
the record as corrected does not represent exactly the natural flow of the stream 
at all times. 

Extremes of discharge. — Maximum discharge for 24 hours, 1909-1915: 1,490 
second -feet, March 28, 1914. Minimum discharge apparently zero at various 
times when the water released from the reservoir was equal to or greater than 
the total flow at the diversion dam. 

Diversions. — Record of water diverted at station for municipal supply of Springfield 
included in records as published. 

Cooperation.— Data collected and compiled under the direction of E. E. Lochridge, 
chief engineer, board of water commissioners, Springfield, Mass. 

J Formerly described as near Blandford, Mass. 

2 Results obtained by weir and current-meter methods are compared in U. S. Geol. Survey Water- 
Supply Papers 201, pp. 105-110, and 241, pp. 164-168.

Note.— Discharge Aug. 1, 1905, to Nov. 30, 1906, and Mar. 26, 1907, to Dec. 31, 1909, determined from a 
airly well defined rating curve. Discharge Dec. 1, 1906, to Mar. 25, 1907, determined from readings at 
v ?2J r an(i a weir formula. Discharge Jan. 1 to May 13, 1910, as published in Water-Supply Paper 
no. 321, pp. 121-125. was estimated from the flow of Borden Brook and is not considered reliable. 
uiscnarge subsequent to May 13, 1910, determined by subtracting from the total floW*at the diversion 
uam the amount of water apparently released from the Borden Brook reservoir or by adding the amount 
ol water apparently stored in the reservoir, as indicated by the elevation of the water surface in the reser- 
i oir. As no allowance' has been made for evaporation and seepage from the reservoir, the results show the 
natural (low at the diversion dam only approximately. For days when no discharge records are given, 
'he apparent storage release was equal to or greater than the tola] (low at the diversion dam. Discharge 
record furnished by the board of water commissioners of Springfield.

confluence of Borden and Pebble brooks and about 8 miles west of Westfield . 

Drainage area. — 8 square miles. 

Records available. — January 1, 1910, to September 30, 1915. 

Determination op discharge. — Flow determined from a continuous record of the 
head on a 5-foot sharp-crested weir without end contractions; results are then 
corrected for apparent gain or loss in stored water in the reservoir, but no 
allowance is made for evaporation. 

Extremes op discharge. — Maximum 24-hour flow recorded: 294 second -feet, October 
21, 1911. Minimum flow: Zero at various times when the water apparently 
released from storage was equal to, or greater than, the flow measured at the weir.

Note.— Discharge determined by subtracting from the quantity of water passing over the weir the 
quantity apparently released from the reservoir, or bv adding the amount apparently stored in the reser- 
voir, as indicated by elevation of water surface in the reservoir. As no allowance has been made for evapo- 
ration and seepage from the reservoir, the results show the natural flow at the outlet of the reservoir only 
approximately. For days for which dischargo is not given, the amount apparently released from storage 
was equal to or greater than the amount passing over the weir.

FARMINGTON RIVER BASIN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

Farmington River is formed at New Hartford, Conn., by the union 
of its East and West branches. The West Branch, the continuation 
of the main stream, heads in the western part of the town of Becket, 
near Becket Mountain; flows southerly and southeasterly through 
Becket, Otis, Sandisfield, and Tolland to the State line at Colebrook, 
crosses the northeastern part of Litchfield County, Conn., and passes 
into Hartford County. Below New Hartford the river continues its 
southeasterly course to Farmington, where it turns abruptly and flows 
northeastward to Tariffville. From Tariff ville its general course is 
again southeasterly to Windsor, where the river joins the Connecticut. 

In the 20 miles from the head of the West Branch to Colebrook 
the fall is about 700 feet. The total drainage area of the West 
Branch above the State line is 103 square miles, of which 92.7 square 
miles is above the gaging station 1 mile below New Boston. (See 
PI. X, B.) 

The drainage basin contains numerous small lakes and ponds, and 
the river receives several tributaries from both east and west. The 
largest tributary, Clam Brook, enters near New Boston. 

The basin is fairly well wooded, and lumbering operations are 
steadily carried on, although the manufacturing of timber products 
is largely undeveloped owing to lack of transportation facilities. A 
number of small power sites have been partly developed, but most 
of the dams are low, giving small head and little storage capacity. 
A large amount of storage has been developed in Otis reservoir, 
which occupies a natural reservoir site and is fed by tributaries from 
the north and east. The operation of this reservoir greatly affects 
the flow of the stream, especially at low-water periods.

Note.— The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using this 
table, allowance* should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which may 
be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which may be as large as 5 per cent. 

TAUNTON RIVER BASIN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

The headwaters of Taunton River rise in the swamps and small 
ponds of Plymouth and Bristol counties, in the eastern part of 
Massachusetts. The main river is formed in the eastern part of 
the township of Bridgewater by the union of Matfield and Town 
rivers. 

Matfield River, which drains the larger area and is considered the 
continuation of the main stream, rises in the swamp northeast of 
Stoughton and flows in general southeasterly to its junction with 
Town River. 

Near East Bridgewater the Matfield is joined by Beaver Brook, 
which rises in the townships of Whitman and Abington, and near 
Elmwood it receives Satucket River, which drains several large 
swamps and ponds of East Bridgewater, Whitman, Abington, Hali- 
fax, and Hanson. Town River rises in Stoughton and Easton, flows 
southward into a swamp of about 7,000 acres, known as Great Cedar 
Swamp, and from this natural reservoir passes eastward through 
Bridgewater to its junction with Matfield River at Paper Mill village. 



186 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

Below this point the general course of the Taunton is southeasterly 
and southerly to the head of Narragansett Bay, into which it dis- 
charges. From the head of Matfield River (called Salisbury Plains 
River in its upper course) to Narragansett Bay the distance along 
the stream is about 50 miles. 

The principal tributaries of Taunton River are Wenatuxet, Namas- 
ket, Mill, and Threemile rivers, the last two entering below tidewater. 
Wenatuxet River rises in several small ponds in Plympton and Carver 
and flows in a general westerly course, receiving Raven Brook and 
Bartletts Brook from the south. Namasket River enters the Taun- 
ton near Titicut. In its drainage area are Assawompsett and Long 
ponds. Mill River rises in Foxboro, Mansfield, and Easton, flows 
southward into Great Cedar Swamp, and joins the Taunton in the 
city of Taunton. Threemile River rises in Foxboro and flows south- 
eastward, joining the Taunton at North Dighton. The Taunton is 
tidal up to East Taunton, where there is about 2J feet of rise and 
fall, and it is navigable to Weir Village. 

On account of the large number of small ponds and swamps in the 
area the run-off through the year is fairly uniform, except in the 
Matfield drainage basin. There are several power' plants on the 
main river and on the branches. 

The average rainfall in this region is about 46 inches. On account 
of the proximity of this basin to the ocean the winters are not severe. 

The country as a whole is very flat, swamps are numerous, and 
not much rock is found. The western portion of the drainage area 
is clay bottom and the eastern is sandy but fairly fertile. Nearly all 
the timber has been removed. 

MATFIELD RIVER AT ELMWOOD, MASS. 

Location. — At the Bedford Street Bridge in the village of Elmwood, in the southern 

part of the town of East Bridge water. 
Drainage area. — Not measured. 

Records available. — Discharge measurements September 29, 1909, to March 5, 1910. 
Gage. — Temporary staff; later replaced by a chain gage attached to the bridge. 
Discharge measurements. — Made from the bridge, or by wading. 
Channel and control. — Bed of stream rocky. One channel at all stages. Control 

not defined. 
Regulation. — Flow regulated to some extent by dams above the station. 

A gage-height record was obtained from September 29, 1909, to July 10, 1910, but 
on account of the variable backwater at the station from Taunton River it is not con- 
sidered a true index of the discharge and is not published.

SATUCKET RIVER NEAR ELMWOOD, MASS. 

Location. — At a bridge about 200 feet below dam of Carver Cotton Gin Co., about 1^ 

miles east of Elmwood. 
Drainage area. — Not measured. 

Records available. — Discharge measurements September 29, 1909, to May 7, 1910. 
Gage. — Staff; later, a chain gage. 

Discharge measurements.— Made from the bridge, or by wading. 
Channel and control. — Bed of stream of gravel and sand; at some seasons covered 

with vegetation. One channel at all stages. Control not defined, owing to the 

vegetation and backwater from other obstructions. 
Regulation. — At low and medium stages entire flow is regulated by mills above 

station. 
A gage-height record was obtained from September 29, 1909, to July 10, 1910, but 
on account of the operation of the mills and the variable backwater at the station it is 
not considered a true index to the discharge and is not published.

188 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

CHARLES RIVER BASIN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

Charles River rises in the town of Hopkinton, Middlesex County, 
at altitude 400 feet above sea level; flows southward about 9 miles, 
then very irregularly northeastward 65 miles to the point at which it 
enters Boston Bay. Its drainage area comprises 290 square miles, of 
which 156.3 square miles is above Waban Lake. Distributed along 
the river are 26 dams, aggregating in height 202 feet, which furnish 
water power for numerous factories and mills. 

The principal tributaries of the river are Mine and Sheppards 
brooks, Stop River, and Bogastow, Stony, and Beaver brooks. Just 
above its entrance into Boston Harbor it is joined by Mystic River, 
which drains an area lying to the north. The Mystic rises just west 
of Reading, at altitude 100 feet above sea level, and flows southward 
and southeastward about 16 miles, passing through Richardsons and 
Burbank ponds and Mystic Lake. The fall from the source of the 
river to Mystic Lake is 80 feet. 

The area tributary to Mystic Lake contains 26.9 square miles, in- 
cluding about 3 per cent of water surface. It was formerly a source 
of water supply for the city of Charlestown, but was abandoned for 
that purpose on January 1, 1898. The other lakes in this basin are 
Wedge Pond, Winter Pond, Horn Pond, and Burbank Pond. Aber- 
jona River, flowing into Burbank Pond in East Woburn, is the prin- 
cipal source of the main stream. 

CHARLES RIVER AT WALTHAM, MASS. 

Location. — At the city of Waltham. From October 4, 1903, to July 9, 1904, at the 
plant of the Boston Manufacturing Co., at Moody Street; July 10, 1904, to 
October 2, 1909, at the dam of the Waltham Bleachery. 

Drainage area. — October 4, 1903, to July 9, 1904, 157 square miles; 1 July 10, 1904, 
to October 2, 1909, 169 square miles. 

Records available. — October 4, 1903, to October 2, 1909. 

Determination of discharge. — Discharge October 4, 1903, to July 9, 1904, deter- 
mined from records of the horsepower of the wheels in operation in the factory of 
the Boston Manufacturing Co. and the quantity of water wasting over the dam. 
Records after July 10, 1904, obtained at the Waltham Bleachery; method not 
stated . 

Diversions. — Mother Brook diverts water from Charles River at Dedham into Ne- 
ponset River. 

Cooperation. — Record furnished by Mr. Hiram A. Miller, former chief engineer of 
the Charles River Basin Commission. 

1 During March, April, and May, 1904, water overflowed from the Stony Brook basin of the Cambridge 
water supply.

MYSTIC LAKE NEAR MEDFORD, MASS. 



Location. — About 1£ miles west of Medford. 

Drainage area. — 26.9 square miles, including about 3 per cent of water surface. 

Records available. — January, 1878, to December, 1897. 

Determination op discharge. — Mystic Lake was used as a source of water supply 
for the city of Charlestown from 1864 to 1897. The discharge wasdetermined by 
making allowance for the storage in Mystic Lake and the water pumped for the 
city supply. The accuracy of the records is doubtful, as no allowance was made 
for storage in other reservoirs in the basin, the slip of the pumps, nor the flow in a 
fish way. 

Cooperation. — Entire record furnished by the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage 
Board of Boston in the calendar-year form and changed to the climatic year by 
engineers of the Geological Survey.

MERRIMACK RIVER BASIN. 
GENERAL FEATURES. 

Merrimack River is formed near Franklin, N. H., by the union of 
Pemigewasset and Winnepesaukee rivers. The Winnepesaukee is 
a short stream flowing south westward from Lake Winnepesaukee; 
the Pemigewasset, generally considered the head of the main stream, 
is the outlet of Profile Lake in Franconia, N. H., 50 to 60 miles north 
of Franklin and less than 10 miles from Mount Washington. From 
Franklin the Merrimack flows southward about 60 miles, crosses into 
Massachusetts, and a £ew miles below the State line, as it approaches 
the city of Lowell, turns abruptly to the east and flows easterly 
and northeasterly to the ocean at Newburyport. Its total length, 
including the Pemigewasset, is about 165 miles, of which 47.5 miles 
is in Massachusetts. Of its 5,015 square miles of drainage area, about 
1,200 square miles is in Massachusetts, 211 square miles lying in the 
Nashua, Sudbury, and Lake Cochituate drainage areas, from which 
water is permanently diverted for the supply of the metropolitan 
district adjacent to Boston. A view of the Wachusett reservoir of 
this system is given in Plate XL 

Important tributaries of the Merrimack, other than the headwater 
streams, are Contoocook, Suncoqk, Piscataquog, Souhegan, and 
Nashua rivers. Nashua River lies nearly all in Massachusetts but 
enters the Merrimack near Nashua, N. H. The other tributaries 
mentioned are all in New Hampshire. 

The headwaters of the Pemigewasset reach an elevation approxi- 
mately 2,000 feet above the sea; at Franklin the river is at an eleva- 
tion of about 270 feet. The upper part of the basin is rough and 
mountainous and very largely in forest. Below Franklin the country 
is more uniform in topography and much of it is farm land. 

The main river flows in reaches of moderate slope separated by 
falls over rock ledges. It is navigable as far as Haverhill, and for 
small boats as far as Lawrence. 

The mean annual rainfall in this basin is about 42 inches, ranging 
from about 46 inches at Lowell to about 38 inches at Plymouth, but 
is probably much greater in the mountainous regions near the head 
of the Pemigewasset than elsewhere in the area. During the winter 
the streams are generally frozen, and especially in the northern parts 
of the region there is usually a heavy fall of snow. 

The basin of the Merrimack is well supplied with natural facilities 
for storage, the combined area of lakes and ponds amounting to 
approximately 183 square miles. About 105 square miles of this 
is contained in Lake Winnepesaukee — next to Moosehead Lake the 
largest body of water in New England — which has about 4 feet of

available depth of storage, corresponding to somewhat less than 
8 billion cubic feet. 

An act approved April 7, 1911, provides that between June 1 and 
September 15 of any year not more than an average of 250 second-feet 
for any week shall be drawn from the lake when the level is 21 inches 
or less. From records maintained from 1860 to date it appears that 
the highest gage height recorded is 44 inches, which occurs when the 
lake is full. This stage has been recorded during 30 years since 
1860. The lowest recorded stage was— 11J inches and occurred in 
February, 1911, the total recorded range thus being 55J inches. 

Squam Lake, tributary to the Pemigewasset through Squam 
River at Ashland, is nearly 15 square miles in area. This lake can 
be drawn down 50 inches. Newfoundland Lake, with half the water 
area of Squam Lake, is also tributary to the Pemigewasset. It can 
be drawn down 58 inches. 

The storage on all these lakes and on numerous smaller ones is 
controlled by users of water power on the river and greatly improves 
the regimen of low-waiter flow. In a general way, the most favorable 
opportunities for storage on the Merrimack are being utilized, but in 
the upper parts of the drainage basin there are still many unutilized 
reservoir sites. 

The Merrimack is world famous for its developed water powers. 
Lawrence, Lowell, and Manchester are great industrial centers, 
devoted largely to cotton and woolen manufactures, and owe their 
location to the excellent water power available at their sites. There 
are only one or two sites remaining for power development on the 
main river, but on the tributaries, especially the Pemigewasset 
and its tributaries, there is a large amount of unutilized fall. Records 
of flow during hours when mills were running have been kept at 
Lowell for many years. Run-off records showing the mean daily flow 
of the river at Lawrence extend back to 1879; the driest year was 
1910-11; the wettest 1890-91; the total flow during these two years 
was about in the ratio of 1 to 2.72.

taries are given in the following table :

MERRIMACK RIVER AT LOWELL, MASS. 

Location. — At the Boott Mills in Lowell. 

Drainage area.-^L,097 1 square miles above Pawtucket dam. March 7, 1898, the 

Metropolitan Water Board 2 of Boston diverted the flow of South Branch of 

Nashua River, which reduced the drainage area 118 square miles. 
Records available. — January 1, 1848, to May 31, 1861; March 1, 1866, to September 

30, 1915. 
Gage. — Vertical staff in three sections on right bank. Low-water section attached 

to roll way wall, upper section to foundation wall of Boott Mills. Gage read once 

a day at approximately 10.45 a. m. 
Determination of discharge. — Rating curves (PI. XII) determined from quantity 

of water flowing through the canals and water wheels, and leaking and wasting 

over Pawtucket dam at various stages. Tables show only the flow for the 10 hours 

during which mills were operating. 
Channel and control. — Bed of stream smooth and regular; right bank a vertical 

mill wall over half a mile long; left bank high and rarely overflows even during 

spring floods. Control probably at " Hunts Falls," a short distance below station. 

Control has been altered at various times by removal of ledge rock, bowlders, and 

other material. During recent years zero flow occurred at gage height of about 

38.5 feet, referred to datum of gage owned by the Proprietors of Locks and Canals 

on Merrimack River. 
Extremes op discharge. — Maximum stage recorded 1848-1915: 64.20 feet, April 23, 

1852; discharge, 83,000 second-feet. Practically zero flow on nights, Sundays, 

and holidays during low-water season, as water is stored above dam when mills are 

not in operation. 
Winter plow. — Discharge relation only slightly affected by ice. 
Diversions. — Almost the entire flow of South Branch of Nashua River is diverted 

for water supply of metropolitan district of Boston. 
Regulation. — Practically the entire low-water flow is regulated by dams and mills 

above station. Tables of discharge show only the 10-hour flow during periods 

when mills are in operation. In very dry seasons entire flow is stored during 

nights, Sundays, and holidays. 
Accuracy. — Record considered reliable, although rating for earlier years is somewhat 

uncertain. 
Cooperation. — Entire record furnished by the Proprietors of Locks and Canals on 

Merrimack River, Lowell, Mass., through Arthur T. Safford, assistant engineer.

Note.— Discharge determined from six rating curves applicable as follows: 1848 to 1887, 1888 to 1892, 1893 
to 1896, 1897 to 1898, 1899 to 1907, and 1908 to 1915. The curve for the period 1908 to 1915 was determined 
from the discharge of the river at various gage heights; other curves were derived from this curve by making 
corrections for differences of elevation of river bed at Hunts Falls a short distance below the gage. These 
curves have been checked at several points by records of the quantity of water used by the mills. Figures 
presented in the table show 10-hour flow only, no figures being given for Sundays or holidays previous to 
1903 when the mills were not in operation, and those given for later years have not been used in the com- 
putations of monthly discharge.

234 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

MERRIMACK RIVER AT LAWRENCE, MASS. 

Location. — At the dam of the Essex Co. in Lawrence. 

Drainage area: Square miles. 

Total of Merrimack River basin above Lawrence 1 4, 663 

Net drainage area, excluding the diverted basins of Nashua and Sudbury 
rivers and Lake Cochituate 1 4, 452 

Records available. — January 1, 1880, to September 30, 1915. 

Computations of discharge. — Accurate record is kept of the flow over the dam and 
through the various wheels and gates. This flow includes the water wasted into 
the Merrimack from the Nashua, Sudbury, and Cochituate drainage basins. Esti- 
mates of the quantity wasted from these basins are furnished by the Metropolitan 
Water and Sewerage Board of Boston and subtracted from the weekly and monthly 
quantities measured at Lawrence to obtain the net flow from the net drainage area 
of 4,452 square miles. 

Extremes of discharge. — Maximum discharge for 24 hours recorded 1880-1915: 
82,150 second -feet, March 3, 1896. A view of a flood stage at the Lawrence dam 
in August, 1914, is given in Plate X, A (p. 180). 

Diversions. — Practically the entire flow of South Branch of Nashua River, Sudbury 
River, and Lake Cochituate is diverted for use by the metropolitan water district 
of Boston. 

Regulation. — Flow regulated to some extent by storage in Lake Winnepesaukee. 
Low-water flow affected by operation of various power plants above Lawrence. 

Storage. — There are several reservoirs in the basin. It is estimated that the water 
surface is about 3.5 per cent of the entire drainage area. 

Accuracy. — Records are obtained with great care and are considered good. Those 
for the later years are probably more accurate than those for the earlier years. 

Cooperation. — Entire record has been revised and furnished by R. A. Hale, principal 
assistant engineer of the Essex Co. The figures published herewith supersede all 
that have been presented in previous publications. The record was changed to 
the climatic-year form by engineers of the Geological^ Survey. 

i See footnote to tables of weekly discharge.

Note. — The above table gives the theoretical horsepower per foot fall that may be developed at different 
rates of discharge, and shows the number of days on which the discharge and corresponding horsepower 
were respectively less than the amounts given in the columns for discharge and horsepower. In using 
this table, allowance should be made for the various losses, the principal ones being the wheel loss, which 
may be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which may be as large as 5 per cent. 



MEEEIMACK KIVEE, BASIN. 



283 



SOUTH BRANCH OF NASHUA RIVER (WACHUSETT DRAINAGE 
BASIN) NEAR CLINTON, MASS. 

Location. — At Wachusett dam near Clinton. 

Drainage area. — The area of the basin has been artificially changed at times in 
connection with changes in the water-supply systems of the Metropolitan dis- 
trict. From 1896 to 1907, 119 square miles; 1908 to 1913, 118.19 square miles; 
1914 to 1915, 108.84 square miles. 

Records available. — July, 1896, to September, 1915. 

Determination of discharge. — South Branch of Nashua River has been utilized 
in the water-supply development for the Metropolitan district of Boston. 

The flow is affected by storage in Wachusett Reservoir (PI. XI) and several ponds. 
Investigations of the water supply have been made by the Metropolitan Water 
Board since July, 1896. Beginning with 1897 estimates of discharge have been 
corrected for gain or loss in the reservoir and ponds, so that the record shows 
approximately the natural flow of the stream. 

The yield per square mile is the yield of the drainage area, including the water 
surfaces. For the years 1897 to 1902, inclusive, the water surface formed 2.2 per 
cent of the total area; 1903, 2.4 per cent; 1904, 3.6 per cent; 1905, 4.1 per cent; 
1906, 5.1 per cent; 1907, 6 per cent; 1908-1915, 7 per cent. 

Cooperation. — Complete record for the calendar years furnished by the Metropoli- 
tan Water Board of Boston; changed to climatic year by engineers of the Geo- 
logical Survey. 

Yield, in second-feet, per square mile of South Branch of Nashua River 1 {Wachusett 
drainage basin) near Clinton, Mass., for the years ending Sept. 30, 1896-1915.

Note.,— The above table shows the number of days on which the discharge was less than the amounts 
given in the column for discharge. In using this table, allowance should be made for the varoius losses, 
the principal ones being the wheel loss, which may be as large as 20 per cent, and the head loss, which 
may be as large as 5 per cent. 



MERRIMACK RIVER BASIN. 295 

SUDBURY RIVER AND LAKE COCHITUATE BASINS NEAR FRAM- 
INGHAM AND COCHITUATE, MASS. 

Drainage area.— The areas of Sudbury River and Lake Cochituate basins have 
been artificially changed at times in connection with changes in the water- 
supply systems of the Metropolitan district. Area of Sudbury basin from 1875 
to 1878, inclusive, 77.8 square miles; 1879-1880, 78.2 square miles; 1881-1915, 
75.2 square miles; area of Cochituate basin from 1863 to 1909, inclusive, 18.87 
square miles; 1910, 17.8 square miles; 1911-1915, 17.58 square miles. 

Records available. — Sudbury River basin, January, 1875, to September, 1915; 
Lake Cochituate basin, January, 1863, to September, 1915. Sudbury River and 
Lake Cochituate have been studied by the engineers of the city of Boston, the 
State Board of Health of Massachusetts, and the Metropolitan Water and Sewer- 
age Board; records of rainfall have been kept in the Sudbury basin since 1875 
and in the Cochituate basin since 1852, but Cochituate records prior to 1872 are 
of doubtful accuracy. 

Regulation. — The greater part of the flow from these basins is controlled by storage 
reservoirs constructed by the city of Boston and the Metropolitan Water and 
Sewerage Board. Lake Cochituate, which drains into Sudbury River a short 
distance below Framingham, is controlled as a storage reservoir by the Metropoli- 
tan Waterworks. In the Sudbury River basin the water surfaces exposed to 
evaporation have been increased from time to time by the construction of addi- 
tional storage reservoirs. From 1875 to 1878, inclusive, the water surface 
amounted to 1.9 per cent of the total area; from 1879 to 1884, to 3 per cent; 1885 
3.4 per cent; 1894 to 1897, to 3.9 per cent; 1898 and subsequent years, 6.5 per 
cent. 

Determination op discharge . — Ln determining the run-off of the Sudbury and 
Cochituate drainage basins the water diverted for the municipal supply of 
Framingham, Natick, and Westboro, which discharge their sewerage outside the 
basins, is taken into consideration; the results, however, are probably less accu- 
rate since the sewerage diversion works were constructed. The public water 
and sewerage works were installed in these towns as follows:

Water from the Wachusett drainage basin passes into the reservoirs in the 
Sudbury basin and must be measured to determine the yield of the Sudbury 
basin; the accuracy of the estimates of the Sudbury water supply during months 
of low yield in years subsequent to 1897 is impaired by the errors unavoidable in 
the measurement of the larger quantities of water from the Wachusett basin. 
Cooperation. — Complete records for calendar years furnished by the Metropolitan 
Water and Sewerage Board of Boston; changed to the climatic year by engineers 
of the Geological Survey.

GAZETTEER OF STREAMS. 

The streams, lakes, and ponds described in the following pages 
comprise all that are named on the topographic maps of Massachusetts 
surveyed and published by the United States Geological Survey in 
cooperation with the Commonwealth between 1884 and 1907. The 
first editions of many of these maps were exhausted, and those that 
have been reprinted were revised so far as possible to embody changes 
in cultural features. As the descriptions are based chiefly on the 
maps they vary in accuracy as the maps vary. 

Each stream is described as rising near the point at which the head 
of the upper tributary apparently draining the largest area i& shown 
on the map, and the elevation of that point is given as the elevation 
of the source. It is, of course, recognized that this method does not 
give results of great precision, but it probably causes no greater 
errors in the determination of length and fall than would be caused 
by extending each stream to the head of the divide between its basin 
and that of the adjoining streams. It should be understood, how- 
ever, that all statements of elevation, length, and fall are merely 
approximate. 

The maps used, which are sheets of the Survey's topographic 
atlas, are listed below, and an index map showing the area covered

river, rises on the west slope of Little Asnebumskit Hill and flows southeastward 
to Stoneville, thence eastward and northward to its junction with Blackstone 
River in the southwestern part of the city of Worcester; from its junction the 
Blackstone flows southeastward to Seekonk River and thus through Providence 
River to Narragansett Bay; length to head of Kettle Brook, about 45 miles; the 
principal tributaries in Massachusetts below Kettle Brook are Singleton Brook 
and Quinsigamond, Mumford, West, and Mill rivers. The basin contains no 
large lakes except Lake Quinsigamond, but small ponds and reservoirs used 
for storage are numerous; its flow is thus fairly constant and its powers are very 
fully utilized; average rainfall on the basin about 45 inches. Gaging stations: 
Blackstone River at Woonsocket, R. I., 1904-5; Blackstone River at Berkeley, 
R. I., 1901-2; Blackstone River at Albion, R. I., 1915. Worcester, Marlboro,

to its confluence with Long Meadow Brook, then turns abruptly and flows north- 
westward to Barre Falls; the course of the western branch is also southwesterly 
to the point of junction; from Barre Falls the Ware flows southwesterly by a 
general course to Three Rivers; Swift River enters about a mile above Three 
Rivers, and Quaboag River at Three Rivers. Below the mouth of the Quaboag 
the Chicopee flows in general south of west to the city of Chicopee, where it enters 
the Connecticut. The distance from the .mouth of the Chicopee to the head of

2,000 feet above sea level, and- the Ragged Mountains, south of North Adams, 
culminating in Mount Greylock at 3,505 feet above' sea. The immediate valley 
of the Hoosic comprises a moderately hilly, open country, which is good farming 
land, even to the tops of the hills and is well cultivated. 

The stream is one of the largest tributaries of the Hudson and, excepting per- 
haps the Mohawk, is the most important in point of manufacturing. A large 
share of the fall has been improved.

370 SURFACE WATERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 

Important tributaries of the Merrimack, other than headwater streams, are 
Contoocook, Suncook, Piscataquog, Souhegan, and Nashua rivers. Of these 
only the Nashua lies principally in Massachusetts. 

Elevation of river at Franklin, about 270 feet. Upper portion of basin is 
rough and mountainous and very largely in forests; below Franklin, country 
drained is rolling and much of it is farm land. 

The river flows in reaches of moderate slope separated by fall over rock 
ledges. It is navigable as far as Haverhill, and for small boats as far as Lawrence. 
• Mean annual rainfall in basin, about 42 inches, ranging from about 46 inches 
at Lowell to 38 inches at Plymouth, but it is probably much greater in the moun- 
tainous region near Ihe head of the Pemigewasset than elsewhere in the area. 

The combined area of lakes and ponds in the drainage basin is approximately 
183 square miles, of which about 105 square miles is contained in Lake Winnepe- 
saukee. The storage on many of the lakes is controlled by users of water power 
on the river and greatly improves the low- water flow. In a general way the most 
favorable storage and power sites on the Merrimack are being utilized, but on the 
tributaries, especially on the Pemigewasset and its tributaries, there is a large 
amount of unutilized fall. Gaging stations: Pemigewasset River at Plymouth, 
N. H., 1886-1915; Merrimack River at Franklin Junction, N. H., 1903-1915; Gar- 
vins Falls, N. EL, 1904-1915; Lowell, Mass., 1848-1860, 1865-1915, and Lawrence,

Quinebaug River. — Hampden and Worcester Counties, Mass., Windham and New 
London Counties, Conn.; formed in the town of Brimfield, Hampden County, 
where Mill Brook, the headwater stream draining the largest area, receives a 
number of tributaries from the towns of Wales and Holland. Of these smaller 
tributaries Hollow Brook is superior by reason of drainage area and is therefore to 
be considered the head of the Quinebaug. Hollow Brook rises on the east slope of 
Mount Pisgah and flows northward about 4 miles to its junction with Charles 
Brook; from this point Mill Brook flows eastward and southeastward into the 
swamp southwest of East Brimfield where it receives a stream that carries the 
overflow from Mashapaug Pond, Hamilton Reservoir, and Holland Pond; from this 
point the stream flows northeastward to Fiskdale, thence southeasterly through 
the towns of Sturb ridge, Southbridge, and Dudley, Mass., southerly through the 
eastern part of Windham County, Conn., to Wauregan, thence southwesterly to its 
junction with Shetucket River (tributary through Thames River to Long Island 
Sound) 3 miles above its mouth; length below mouth of Mill Brook, about 60 
miles, in which distance the fall is about 600 feet; average fall below Southbridge, 
about 7 feet per mile. The large number of storage reservoirs and mill ponds 
holds back the water of storms and melting snows and modifies the violence of 
freshets. The water power report of the Tenth Census (p. 201) lists 39 ponds, of 
which 21 are in Massachusetts. The largest of these ponds (Lake Chaubunagung- 
amaug) covers an area of 1,300 acres. The river is extensively used for power at 
many points in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Principal tributaries of the 
Quinebaug in Massachusetts below the mouth of Mill Brook include streams from 
Long and Cedar ponds, Hamant, Hobbs, Breakneck, Hatchet, Globe, Cady, 
Cohasse, Lebanon, and Tufts brooks, and French River, which joins the Quinebaug 
in Connecticut but drains a considerable area in Massachusetts. Brookfield,
